Prior to 1820, how did eligible citizens cast their votes in elections?

C.) by casting secret ballots

Unlike today where men and women can vote regardless of race as long as they are registered voters, people in 1820 can only vote if they are white, male, have properties, and sometimes must be Protestants. These are just some of the requirements that they must meet before they can cast their vote using secret ballots.
