It'd be fantastic if we could figure out a way to make secret balloting work, but this proposal seems to place an awful lot of trust and responsibility in the hands of the voting booth administrator. If I were a Mideasterner I'd be undecided.

Yeah, secret ballot was always something we discussed back in the RPP/JCP days, when people talked about voter intimidation from others. Ultimately, we couldn't decide who we trusted enough to administer those elections, because literally you are putting someone in the position of as God of Atlasia.

…which is why we have the deputy administrator, who has to be from a different party than the administrator (and the specific implementation makes it extremely unlikely that this will be a Laborite and a Liberal or something like that) and can neither be running for nor actually holding office. I think it's quite safe enough.
