It affects secrecy a bit but you still have to take at least two different ballots into the voting booth. Obviously you are bringing your own ballot and taking one already printed so it's not really a secret.

Also there was taped garbage bags in the voting booth so that people can throw away their discarded ballots but that's also a great way to show what every else has been voting before me...

I still think our voting system is quite ok but there are definitely flaws.
