At the risk of creating trouble by making a serious corrective post in MPSIMS, the Australian ballot was not merely the practice of voting in secret, but rather the idea of creating a ballot form that lists all candidates up for election, with the offices for which they are running, which may be marked in private, therefore keeping one’s vote a secret.

Prior to this in some areas, “ballot papers” listing the candidates nominated by a given party were printed up by that party, and one entered the voting area carrying the ballot one had been given by his party of choice, casting it but with no expectation of secrecy. In other areas, one might announce to the election official one’s preferred candidate aloud; he would then record that statement as one vote for that candidate. Again no element of secrecy in vote was possible. Still other areas had separate ballots cast for each race – which might permit privacy but made voting and tallying of votes cumbersome.

The Australian ballot helped by both permitting a secret ballot and by gathering together the candidates running for each office onto a single ballot form. As such it was a valuable innovation.
