A polling place is the location where voters go to cast their votes. It’s the designated site for people in a specific geographic area, like a precinct, to actually vote on election day or during early voting. The ballot is the paper or electronic form they fill out, containing candidates and measures. A referendum is a vote on a specific public question, and public opinion refers to how people feel about issues in general, not a voting location. So the place voters in a precinct go to vote is the polling place.
