> How would anyone know? Ballots are always secret This is tangential, but in Sweden, voting was not secret until 2019: Long-standing Swedish election policy of always displaying the ballot papers for voters to select in public, making it impossible for many voters to vote secretly, has been criticised as undemocratic and is arguably in blatant contravention of Protocol 1, Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights [..] In 2014 a German citizen, Christian Dworeck, reported this lack of secrecy in Swedish voting to the European Commission and from 2019 ballot papers are selected behind a screen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Sweden#Voting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Sweden#Voting
