This booth is the same as those used in the Australian system, and is necessary to the secrecy of the ballot. The voter approaches, lifts the lid of the box, which act causes a bell to ring, and finds himself in the presence -of an ap- paratus much like the finger board of a typewriter. There before him are the names of all the candidates, all those of each political party being printed on pa- per of one color. This is for the benefit of illiterate voters.
