Under Article 38 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), elections are general, direct, free, equal and secret. “Secret” means that nobody may see or find out whom you voted for – that is why there is a voting booth. The right to vote does not depend on your job or your gender, because elections are general and equal.
