Here are my observations on this bille:

1. Include an express prohibition on campaigning in the voting booth.
2. As for exit polls, shouldn't the election trackers (e.g. Inside Nyman) be the ones who report on those?
3. I honestly can take or leave the secret ballot, but how would that work?

One of the things I also find silly about this bill is the fact that it aims to counter 'strategic voting' but still gives the voting booth administrator and his/her deputy the ability to do so and influence results that no one else would be aware of. If we are going to secret ballot voting, it may be a good idea to ban these people from voting, since it would defeat the purpose of this bill if they could still do so...
Good point, except that the administrator's vote doesn't necessarily have an effect on how I, personally, vote.  I like Inks's idea about having them vote absentee, since they should be allowed to vote like anyone else, but should not be trying to unduly influence the results in the voting booth.
