Canadian Citizenship Practice Test 2024

What right is secured by the Canadian law on secret ballot?

1. The right to vote without registration

2. No one can see how you voted

3. The right to vote in any province

4. The right to a public vote recount

The correct answer is: No one can see how you voted

The Canadian law on secret ballot secures the right to privacy in voting. This means that no one, not even election officials or government officials, can see how you voted. This ensures that individuals can freely and confidently vote for their choice without fear of repercussions. Option A is incorrect because while not all provinces in Canada require registration to vote, some do have registration processes in place. Option C is incorrect because while Canadian citizens have the right to vote in federal and provincial elections, there is no provision in the law that guarantees the right to vote in any specific province. Option D is incorrect because while a public vote recount may occur in certain circumstances, the main focus of the Canadian law on secret ballot is to protect the privacy of individual votes.
