Out of interest, with computerised voting do they generally also protect the information of who voted for who? I might be wrong, but I don't think paper ballot

I might be wrong, but I don't think paper ballots have any identifying information on.
Edit: Hmm, ballot papers do apparently have a unique ID on, which I hadn't noticed before.
- tyfon 9y agoHere in Norway at least, all voting is on paper ballot. You receive an election card (valgkort) in the mail to bring to the polling station containing all your info. ID is also required. If you forget this card, they can print it out for you. Then you enter the booth containing party lists. You can't "punch" the wrong party as each have their own ballot. You can erase/add/reprioritize names on the party list you choose though. Then you put this ballot into an anonymous envelope. This envelope is then put into another envelope along with your election card. When they count it, they pull out the ballot envelope and the election card, register that you have voted, then someone else will open and count the actual vote. It seems to me to be pretty secure and anonymous.
