It also means you can't prove what party you voted, the point is both protect from repercussions and avoid vote selling, but yet can still happen in the smaller municipalities, since you can theoretically* buy the town whole and detract money for every vote missing Even in Italy however you needed to "tesserate" to vote for party primaries, so who has those archives knows at least how involved you are with this or that party because there's a certain correlation between party registration and voting patterns *Theoretically that's also why you see percentages approaching 100% for one candidate in many small Sicilian towns
