RE: Q & A Townhall in the Steem Alliance -- Wednesday Apr. 10th at 7pm UTC
Thank you for the detailed answer. But thatbdealsbwith auditing not secrecy.
A secret ballot means you know an individual voted but you don't know who they voted for. Ex you can confirm they clicked 'confirm' but you don't know thebchoice they made.
It is mostly done tonprotect privacy and prevent vote buying / influence.
For example if I say I voted for A but I actually voted for B no one can determine this.

Ah yes, with dpoll you can see who voted for what in real time and therefore it’s fully open and nothing secret whatsoever.
While there may be some benefits to privacy by keeping it closed, as you mentioned, it’s then harder to audit.
The reason dpoll was selected is it gives a way that is very transparent to run this vote and the goal from the beginning has been transparency, which we wanted to provide in the vote itself as well.
Great question, thank you. and thank you for the clarification
Yeah I just checked myself.
I know there were changes made and Ibwas wondering if somewhat anonymous was one of them.
