VOTING SYSTEM: OPEN AND SECRETE BALLOT
OPEN BALLOT: The election conducted in the open place where people line up behind their candidates or signify their support by raising up their hands is known as open ballot. Here the person contesting will identify those voting for him and this can lead to molestation of others in the opposing camp.
SECRET BALLOT: Is a type of election where voters use ballot paper to cast their vote in a close place such that other voters and contesting candidates may not see them. Here the candidate may not recognize those voting for him. The safety of the electorate is guaranteed.
