And we thought the postal votes were fair?

From the star newspaper thursday 13 march 2008

"My wife and I received our postal ballot papers and were dumbfounded to know that our personal particulars were needed to fill in a pink form. On top of that there must be the signature of a witness who is closely associated.to make matter worse, we to include these particulars in an envelope together with the ballot paper.there is no secrecy at all mind you and these postal votes involved not a few thousand but hundreds of thousand of them.I don't mind if the ballot paper consists of a serial number because that will be the most sensisble way to monitor the distribution of the ballot papers. The ec and the government shud guarantee that our votes are only known to us to make the election process more transparent, fair and clean".
