No One Can Find Out Who You Vote For Unless You Want to Tell Them
This year, many women from across the country are asking if they can vote across their registered party lines, and if their husband, or anyone else, can find out who they voted for.
We’re glad you’re here. You can stop googling. Know you’re not alone and rest assured that who you vote for is private.
Is WHO I vote for really private?
“WHO you actually vote for on the ballot is not public information. You do not need to tell your spouse or anyone else who you voted for, even if they ask.” – VoteWithoutFear.com
“Whom you vote for is not public; the only way someone will know exactly whom you vote for is by telling them.” – NPR
“One thing that is private everywhere: how you voted. The contents of ballots are always secret.” – Forbes
What can they actually find out?
“Your voter registration information is public – this can include that you voted, your address, and the party you are registered for.” – VoteWithoutFear.com
Do I have to vote in line with my party registration?
“No; if you register as a Democrat, you can vote for a Republican candidate in a general election and vice versa. You don’t have to ask for a particular ballot — all candidates will be on the same form.” – Washington Post
“In a Presidential general election, you can vote for anyone on the ballot — and from any party. You do not have to change your registered party to vote for a nominee in the other party.” – VoteWithoutFear.com
