Comment : | 19. Vol. I, §2.2.7's requirements for secrecy are incorrect. It states: The voting process shall preclude anyone else from determining the content of a voter’s ballot, without the voter’s cooperation. If such a determination is made against the wishes of the voter, then his or her privacy has been violated. To prevent vote coercion and selling, the voting system must neither disclose a voter's selections, nor even permit her to prove how she voted, except for purposes permitted by law.
