Open Ballot Question in Australian Ballot Law Explained
In the August 14, 1900 issue the article explains whether a voter may display an open ballot under the Australian Ballot Law. Section 13 of earlier laws allowed open voting, but the Australian law requires ballots to be folded before leaving the booth and kept folded until voting. It prohibits showing voted names to others and bans lingering near the polling place with intent to vote for someone. Violations carry fines from 50 to 500 dollars or possible jail time. The article notes the provisions are explicit and demand no further commentary.
