Explanation:

  • Indian elections (as in any other democratic country) are conducted by secret ballot. Secret ballots protect the voter's privacy so as not to be abused by the politicians in whose favor.
  • It is also known as the Australian ballot because it is a method of polling in which the preferences of a candidate in an election or referendum remain confidential, forestalling attempts to control the elector by coercion, blackmailing, and even purchase of ballots.
