I agree that we are probably not obliged to keep it a secret, because
I've not yet seen in the Writings that there is such a specified
obligation. Exercising wisdom by choosing not to reveal it is a
different matter. I have seen people "typecast" because they revealed
their vote, and I usually don't find that helpful in teaching the Faith
(particularly in the current, highly-partisan atmosphere in the U.S.).
IMO only.

You have no obligation to divulge your vote. It's your choice. Nobody will
prosecute you if you do voluntarily reveal your own (secret) vote. But you
cannot be coerced to divulge your vote.

Your vote is secret. You do not have to divulge your vote to any person or
agency, etc.
I don't know that we are obliged to keep it a secret, however.
