A ballot is a document that is used to vote in an electoral act.
Boleta is a concept that is used in different ways according to the geographic region. The first meaning mentioned by the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ) refers to the paper that, with a name or a number, is placed in a container to carry out a draw.
In some countries , the document used to cast a vote in an electoral process is called a ballot. The ballot, also called a ballot , presents data such as the names of the candidates and the political party they represent. The voter must enter the dark room, take the ballot and place it in an envelope that is then sealed and placed in a ballot box. To complete the vote, the ballots are counted.
Different uses of the term
There are nations , on the other hand, where the fine that an authority establishes when someone commits a traffic violation is called a ticket. For example: “Last night they gave me a ticket for parking in the wrong place,” “If you keep speeding so much, they're going to give you a ticket,” “I have to pay the tickets before putting the car up for sale.”
A bill can also be a bill that must be paid: “Have you seen the new gas bill yet? The rate went up a lot!” , “Next week the Internet service is going to expire and the company has not yet sent the bill” , “I have not yet paid for this month's bills” .
The bill that must be paid is called a bill.
Fee bill
In Chile there is a concept called fee slip , a document through which taxpayers, professional societies and any person who carries out a lucrative occupation must record the fees they receive for the services they provide. Taxpayers starting activities in the second category are required to have the relevant authorization from the Internal Revenue Service ( SII ).
The issuance of the fee bill can be done by two means: the traditional one requires the completion of a paper form, which must be stamped by the SII to be valid before delivery; online, on the SII site, choosing the appropriate form depending on whether it is a taxpayer or an authorized user, with data previously used or not.
Those taxpayers who choose to issue their fee receipts online benefit from greater convenience and financial savings, since they do not have to order the printing of the receipts or travel to an office to obtain the aforementioned stamping.
Requirements for issuance
Regarding the requirements, they are different depending on the medium chosen. To issue fee invoices online it is necessary:
- Have notified the SII of the start of second category activities.
- Carry out activities taxed according to the Income Tax Law, as specified in its article 42, number 2.
- Do not make negative annotations that prevent the correct stamping of the documents by the system .
- Have a secret key to access the applications offered by the virtual office.
If the procedure is carried out in physical format, in addition to the first two requirements in the previous list, there are the following:
- Order the preparation of the ballot stubs at a printing press .
- Fill out form 3230 and go to the SII to have the ballots stamped.
Ballot as a threat
Ballot can be a piece of paper that is used to threaten, blackmail or pressure a person. By extension, when someone threatens an individual, they can tell them that if they do not do a certain thing, they will be “ticketed.”
Let's look at some example sentences: "Look, if I see you talking to someone about this, you're a ticket," "I told you, but it seems like you wanted to have a hard time: you knew that if you didn't pay on time you'd be a ticket."
