Why Do We Vote in ‘Secret’ and What Happens If We Don’t?

Voting in secret means you can choose your favorite candidate without anyone knowing. It’s like picking a flavor of ice cream in a dark room, no one sees what you pick. If we don’t vote in secret, people might be scared to choose someone else because they think others will know. That’s why voting is usually done in private booths or with secret ballots.
