Glossary Term :  Anonymity
Definition :  
Comment :  Preventing the disclosure of the identity of the voter associated with a Cast Ballot. Neither the individual identity nor the aggregate characteristics of voters may be associated with Cast Ballots, except those characteristics mandated by law. For example, an election authority might be permitted to disclose the aggregate votes of party-unaffiliated voters, but will be prohibited from dislosing the aggregates of only blind voters.
