Your voting slip is torn from a pad and both the slip and the counterfoil left in the pad have a serial no. Your electoral roll number is noted on the counterfoil of your voting slip thus allowing the authorities to ascertain exactly who voted for who. This is secret voting?
My thoughts exactly,a couple of years ago when i went to vote i brought this up, but what i was told was, no one would know who i had voted for.I have not voted since, i object to big brother knowing who i vote for.
