public voting

Public voting is a process where members of the community or the general public cast their choices to select or approve options, candidates, or decisions. It often occurs through ballots, online polls, or surveys, allowing individuals to influence outcomes directly. Public voting ensures that the preferences of a broad group are considered, emphasizing democratic participation. The results reflect collective opinion and can determine elections, awards, policies, or other collective decisions. Transparency and fairness are essential to ensure the process accurately captures the will of the voters.
