Family voting is when family members enter a voting booth together and collude, discuss or direct voting intentions.

The organisation Democracy Volunteers has noted the occurrence of family voting, for example in elections in the UK, the Netherlands and in Sweden.

In 2023, the United Kingdom passed the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023 to make family voting a criminal offence.

There you are...

The ballot box is supposed to be an almost sacred booth

That’s why they made it an offense. Interesting.

It is actually legal in AZ!
Some states ban it, but some do not!

I fully expect UK officials to issue a statement to the effect of, “We must view these actions through the lens of cultural sensitivity rather than immediately concluding their actions were criminal”.
