Under this system, the ballots were printed at public expense by the officials charged with the conduct of elections. The Australian ballot was introduced in this country in 1888. Frequently printed on colored paper, it was readily possible to determine which ballot the voter selected. Each party or faction distributed its own ballot among the voters. In these early days, little secrecy was afforded the voter in marking his or her ballot. A few years later the Colony of Massachusetts adopted this method to elect civil magistrates. It was not until 1872 that secret voting for elected officials was adopted (in England). The opposition termed it 'the deadly mischief of making numbers the sole test of public opinion.' The first record of the use of the secret ballot in America was in 1629 when the members of the Salem church chose their pastor.

the first written ballot was used in Rome. These were forerunners of today's elections with voting machines. The little balls could have been white in color for an affirmative vote or black for a negative vote. From there came the term blackballed that is still used today to describe rejection. Another means used consisted of placing a pebble or little ball in an urn, hence the word ballot from the Italian ballotta, meaning little ball.

The ancient Greeks voted by acclamation, by division into groups or by balloting with shells and bronze disks of different sizes.
