They argue, however, that this protection was always incomplete: faced with effective ballot secrecy, powerful actors turned to manipulating turnout – buying presence or absence at the polls – to obtain their electoral goals. The authors proceed to show how making both voting and voting in secret mandatory would foreclose both undue influence and turnout manipulation. This would enhance freedom for voters by liberating them from coercion or bribery in their choice of both whether and how to vote.
This thought-provoking and insightful text will be invaluable for students and scholars of democratic theory, elections and voting, and political behavior.Should Secret Voting Be Mandatory? продается в интернет-магазине ЛитРесЭксперт: Евгений Р., шопинг-консультантДата рецензии: 23 октября 2025 годаРекомендация к покупке положительная
