A voting booth or polling booth (in British English)[1] is a room or cabin in a polling station where voters are able to cast their vote in private to protect the secrecy of the ballot.[2][3] Commonly the entrance to the voting booth is a retractable curtain. Usually access to the voting booth is restricted to a single person, with exceptions for voters requiring assistance.

Voting machines generally use either a voting booth or some other form of privacy cover to obscure voters from the view of others.
