Women’s suffrage would not be introduced in Liechtenstein until 1984.
It doesn’t need to be constitutional, a simple law is enough.
Sure, if this was some kind of joke poll ignoring the most basic rules of democratic voting, I’ll stand corrected.
I mean of course it doesn’t need to be a constitutional law, that was just the most basic of Liechtensteinian law I could quickly find (and many countries have it there, e.g. France). But it’s unwise to assume that the secret ballot is such a given in a voting process. Nigeria has open ballots iirc, and even the US does not technically have a system that guarantees a proper secret ballot (as mail-in votes technically don’t meet the criteria).

It’s not a democratic process then by definition.

Now that’s a valid point. But how bold to assume, the vote was lost because men forced their women to use mail-in. In reality, reasons are much more complex.
It’s not a democratic process then by definition.
Secret ballot is not a prerequisite for a democratic process. The UK has numbered ballots allowing courts to, in exceptional circumstances, order the reveal of what someone has voted (violating the secret ballot). But we don’t claim their voting process is undemocratic.

I never assumed this. I’m merely pointing out that the secret ballot is not an automatic given in a democratic election.
