Secret Ballot

A secret ballot is a voting method that allows voters to make their choices privately, without revealing their selections to others. This ensures that individuals can vote honestly without fear of influence, intimidation, or consequences. The process typically involves casting a confidential ballot, such as a paper or electronic form, which is collected and counted separately from the voter's identity. Secret ballots are fundamental to fair elections, protecting voter privacy and promoting free, unbiased decision-making in democratic processes.
