Australian Ballot Bill Introduced With Secrecy Emphasis
The measure promotes voter secrecy and standardizes tickets printed for parties with all candidates of a party listed in one column under the party name. Circles mark a party ticket, and cross marks vote all candidates of that party. Officers must record tickets sent to each polling place, and judges must account for every ballot received. It is a penitentiary offense to possess a ballot outside official use. Directions for marking are plain to prevent confusion.
