The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

This is why everyone leaves personally identifying information on the ballot and when you vote they take your vote, look over it, and put it in a box assigned to your name.
It takes a few days for all votes to appear on the public vote registry where everyone can see who you voted for, and sometimes the president will call you to thank you for your vote.
Source: I am the president

your votes are anonymous but your ballot packet is not. if you drop your ballot packet on the floor on the way to the ballot box, it can be traced to you simply by going to the voter registry where your ballot was issued or any other identifying info on the ballot envelope. however, once contents are opened and the ballot is separated from the packet, it is anonymous and your casted vote is anonymous and can't be traced to you. but election workers can open it and put it aside if they open it and a bunch of confetti falls out or noticed that it's not signed or whatever.
