In U.S. practice, a poll tax was a tax on the act of voting in an election and had to be paid before a citizen could cast a ballot.
It is how many voters came to the polls and to cast votes. It is usually a percentage of the registered voters. If there are 1000 registered voters and 150 vote, that is 15% and is a light turnout. If 900 vote, it is 90% and a heavy turnout.
Since mandatory voting began in Australia, the percentage of ballots that voters intentionally complete in random or incorrect ways remains around 2 to 3%.
People cast ballots at the polls or polling place, via the Board of Elections.

If all eligible voters in a nation were required to cast ballots, there might be a better representation of the people in that nation for elected officials. A drawback to this form of voting would be that it would take longer to vote as lines for voting would be long. The actual counting of the ballots would also be more time consuming.
A ballot is a document or electronic system that allows individuals to vote in an election by indicating their choice of candidate or position. In the US, there are several forms of ballots, including paper ballots where individuals mark their choices by hand, electronic voting machines where selections are made using a touch screen or buttons, and mail-in ballots where voters fill out their choices on a paper ballot and send it by mail. Some states also allow for early voting, where individuals can cast their ballots in person prior to Election Day.
