The secret ballot, or Australian ballot, is a method in which voting choices are anonymous.

In the United States, most states started using secret ballots in the late 1880s. The first city to use the Australian ballot was Louisville, Kentucky, and the first state to do so was Massachusetts. Voting by secret ballot has been universal in the United States since 1892.
