Voting in Closed Institutions
In every election, there are problems regarding the casting of votes in prisons, nursing homes and care
centres for the disabled. Polling stations are set up in some state nursing homes and centres for the disabled
whereas they are not set up in others. Similarly, individuals living in these institutions have voiced concerns
over the fact that there were problems regarding the updating of voter registries, that some voters were
offered transport to polling stations on election day by the institution while others were not able to benefit
from this service on election day.
There are ballot boxes in prisons where the voter population is very low, yet voters are not able to vote in
these ballot boxes. Setting up ballot boxes in prisons where there are very few people is a violation of the
principle of the secret vote.
By creating ballot boxes that would only cater to very few voters, the SBE is violating the principle of
secret votes. In ballot boxes where there are only one or two voters, the count inevitably exposes the
political preferences of the voters.
