Maybe a solution would be to offer two alternatives of each option on
the ballot—one as currently stated, and one that includes a secret
vote instruction to the secretary. It would require an explanation to
voters to clear up the confusion, but would result in the greatest
legitimacy.

As an alternative, all delegates and the DPL could perhaps vote to
stay the release of voter identities until the electorate voted on the
matter. As a stop-gap solution conceived to head off a constitutional
crisis, it might work because there is no explicit promise of
timeliness in the constitutional part that reads "after the vote the
Project Secretary lists all the votes cast."

Unfortunately, neither alternative will comfort voters afraid of
reprisals, because there is no guarantee of privacy.

Kind regards
