Net niet.
Before 1872, voting was often public, which allowed pressure and bribery. The Ballot Act introduced secret voting and made elections fairer.
Vóór 1872 was stemmen vaak openbaar, wat druk en omkoping mogelijk maakte. De Ballot Act voerde geheime stemming in en maakte verkiezingen eerlijker.
