Geoffrey Brennan and Philip Pettit (1990) revived Mill’s argument, contending that, while we should not assume that people will generally tend to vote according to their private interest whenever voting is secret, unveiling the vote would certainly encourage further the practice of voting in accordance with what one considers to be the common good (Brennan and Pettit 1990: 325–329). They argue as well that the case for open votes is especially strong in pluralistic societies involving large electorates.[30]
