Secret Ballot

The People’s Charter vs the Ballarat Reform League’s Charter

The first People’s Charter of 1838 ^[1] listed six demands:

1. A vote for every man over the age of 21

2. No property qualification

3. Annual Parliaments

4. Equal representation (cconstituencies of equal size)

5. Payment of MPs

6. Secret ballots

The Ballarat Reform League's Charter of 1854 ^[2] included only the first five demands from the People’s Charter (PC)

1. A full and fair representation = no. 4 of PC

2. Manhood suffrage = no. 1 of PC

3. No property qualification of Members for the Legislative Council = no. 2 of PC

4. Payment of Members = no 5 of PC

5. Short duration of Parliament = no. 3 of PC
