No, it's really quite easy to keep it anonymous. You number each ballot with a tear off number and a corresponding ticket. The "tear-off" gets seperated from the ballot when it returns. When the elections are over you simply annouce the winning number. It'd be the voter's responsibility to check their ticket number to see if mathces. ABANA doesn't know which numbers went to where nor which ballot they came in on.
Personally, I'd like to see a similar system (with a $1 million pot) for national elections, but that's another issue.
