     (2) Each voter determines in private, without any public disclosure at the polls, the candidates he or she chooses to vote for; and

     (3) Each voter, without regard to any partisan or independent identification he or she made when voting for partisan offices, may vote for all nonpartisan offices and ballot measures on the ballot.
