Is the concept of a secret ballot outdated?

Absolutely not. I don’t want anyone to see my ballot, nor do I want to answer for my ballot. If anything it should be more secret, not less. The reason behind the secret ballot is clearly to allow people to vote their conscience without worrying about having to justify their choice to anyone.
