[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 508413, member: 13534"] The Electoral Act 1856 passed through Parliament (with a one vote majority) on 13 March 1856, and received the Governor's Assent on 19 March. Victoria thus became the first Australian colony, and the [b]first legislature anywhere in the world, to adopt the practice of the secret ballot[/b], as opposed to open voting. [/QUOTE]
