Anonymous Election Ballots

Apparently when I submitted this (Anonymous Election Ballots) it wasn't explained clearly enough to be passed. Another nation sent me a message saying that the idea was absurd and that there would be no measure to keep people from voting multiple times. This is entirely false. The anonymous ballot was originally a device of the Progressives (irl) fighting corruption in the government. Without knowing who didn't vote for you, there is no way to retaliate against those people. Fear would be less. You must understand this, right? I did not submit a UN resolution to make voting anonymous, I submitted a resolution to make the ballots anonymous. Each person who is registered to vote gets one, uniform ballot that specifically does not require that person to leave their name on that ballot. Apparently I have now lost my second UN Endorsement, so now I am forced to ask somebody else to endorse me or to take on my quest to pass this resolution.

I can't help with the endorsement thing - I think that is a game problem that is going on.

But do you wish to make the UN votes anonymous, or just regular votes in each nation? So that my government has to be elected by anonymous ballot?
