Constitutional Amendment to Allow a Secret Ballot

[The Dowager Mod]

How do we make sure it is fair?

[The Dowager Mod]

As long as it is not mandatory i can live with it.
Perhaps sofa/dsofa and one of the justices.

Okay, here's the official version of the amendment, unless someone can find something else that should be added:

Definitions

Non-anonymous secret ballot: any form of ballot where each vote made can be directly linked to a specific voter, but where the link is not known to the general public.

§1. The text "All elections to the Senate shall be by public post." in Article I, Section 4, Clause 6 of the constitution is hereby stricken and replaced with "All elections to the Senate shall be by either public post or non-anonymous secret ballot."

§2. The text "All elections to the Presidency shall be by public post." in Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the constitution is hereby stricken and replaced with "All elections to the Presidency shall be by either public post or non-anonymous secret ballot."

§3. Following ratification by the regions, this amendment shall be considered ineffectual until legislation is passed that explicitly declares that this amendment shall come into power.

change the words in bold and i can go for this.

The way you have it does just that.

The way you have it does just that.

How does it do that?

The amendment that I posted above states that elections will be done through both public post and non-anonymous secret ballot.  It seems pretty clear to me that this means that both options will be available...

I'm not sure where we are in the debate, but I'd like to remind the Senate (perhaps belatedly) that obfuscation of IP addresses is not difficult.

True, but this is not the place to debate that point.  This is just the amendment that will clear the way for a secret ballot; the actual specifics of the methodology used will come later.

The point i'm trying to make is that the way it is worded can be taken to mean you mustuse both methods

Aye

[The Dowager Mod]
