Secret ballots protect the confidentiality of the voting process. They allow voters to share their unbiased opinions without the potential for coercion or undue influence. With secret ballots, members vote privately, which means no one knows which option they voted for. This anonymity encourages honest and uninfluenced voting where members can share their preferences without fearing repercussions.
