When the vote is closed, the total and the list of voters are shown, but the individual votes still aren't. I'm not sure whether it is better or not, since secret ballot also means confidentiality about whether somebody voted or not, and in some cases (e.g. unanimous voting or some votes disclosed) it may still be possible to deduce individual votes given the list of participants. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
