| Description: | Jumpy, flashing, not clear or sharp in contrast and imagery In the quaint Canton (state) of Appenzell voting is still conducted in the time-honored fashion-by the voters raising their hands in a open-air election. There is no secret ballot here. The new president of the assembly takes his new oath of office, and this is followed by the swearing of allegiance by the members of the new government. | |
