63RZ01 - Sense of the Ziu: No More Loyalty Parades

WHEREAS Organic Law V.4 guarantees Talossans the right to vote publicly rather than in a secret ballot;

AND WHEREAS public voting which is announced during the election has various negative effects, such as encouraging "copy-paste" voting and a "bandwagon" effect, both of which put parties whose voters prefer the secret ballot at a disadvantage, thus discriminating against them under Organic Law V.4;

AND WHEREAS the existing database already enables votes to be made public after the election, which removes these negative effects;

BE IT RESOLVED THAT IT IS THE SENSE OF THE ZIU that "public" votes should only be revealed after the election, so that they cannot be copy-pasted, and that they should not have an outsized effect on the election; and that the Chancery should report to the Ziu on options to make this effective.
