Yes, and not only to those who are nominal members.

Please, do not pretend you do not see the difference.


There are a few reasons why someone would want to keep his choice
secret:

1) Might have to vote against your close friend, your own boss,
prospective representative of your company.

2) Not to be ashamed to vote for your boss, prospective representative
from your company, and for your boss/representative not to be ashamed
that he/she won because of the block vote.

What is more important for your, (1) or (2)?  I doubt (2) is an answer
you will get, but ... . OK I'll stop here -- no more insinuations.
