How good is your OVERALL voting record ?

100%. Actually more than that, because in several elections I voted for people who couldn't, but didn't want to spoil their vote.

What?

If you're Dutch and you live here, there is no such thing as early voting or absentee ballots. One can, however, ask someone else to vote for them. Both people need to sign a form (to be handed in at the polling station by the person who votes) and the person who votes needs to bring a copy of the other person's ID to the polling station. A voter can only vote for a maximum of two other people (in order to avoid fraud). I did this in three elections already, for people who would be abroad or just couldn't vote.

Does this mean, that you are (technically) required to vote as the other person intended/intends ?
Or can you use the extra ballot(s), and vote exactly as you desire ?
Because my thought is that if you can vote the extra ballots as you desire, then technically you are allowed to vote more than one time, while others only vote once. In my opinion, this does not sound like a fair "democratic" voting system (in Holland).
Very strange policy/system to me.

Well, the idea is of course that someone cannot vote, asks person X to vote for person Y on list Z, and then person X does so (regardless of the party he himself votes for). However, one's vote is obviously secret, so if person X votes for person A on list B instead, no one will know. Want to avoid that? Give your vote to someone 1) whom you trust and 2) who is politically close to you.

Because of the fact that one can accept only 2 other people's votes, mass fraud is being prevented. In addition to that, one can officially not ask others for their votes; instead, the person who cannot vote has to approach someone who will be voting. However, this can of course not be enforced.

It doesn't seem particularly "unfair" or undemocratic to me, although I could see the case for absentee ballots and early voting.
