Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/圈票處 vs 投票间
voting booth · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 票 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 圈票處; on the Mainland it is 投票间 - both point at “voting booth”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 圈票處、投票間 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
