Imagine you're in a classroom, and you want to pick your favorite snack, but no one wants to be the only person who picks something weird. So you all put your choices on little pieces of paper and hand them to the teacher. That’s like a secret vote. In Parliament, members use secret votes to decide laws without being influenced by others.
Examples
- A group of kids voted secretly to choose which game they would play at recess.
- The class teacher counted all their votes after they put them in a hat.
- No one could see who picked what, so no one felt embarrassed.
