What is a Balloter?

Balloters are individuals who cast votes in an election or a decision-making process. The term "balloter" is not commonly used in modern times, and it has been largely replaced by the word "voter." However, the term "balloter" was historically used to describe individuals who were eligible to vote in certain elections or political processes.

In the United States, for example, the term "balloter" was used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe individuals who were eligible to vote in local and state elections. The term was often used in conjunction with the phrase "ballot box," which referred to the container used to collect and store ballots.

Today, the term "balloter" is largely obsolete, and it has been replaced by the word "voter." However, the term may still be found in historical documents or literature from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
