Yes, as they do in the US Senate and House of Representatives, but that's
because those people are representing the voters and should be accountable
to them. But as a voter I am accountable to nobody, so nobody needs to see
my vote. 

You might not agree with commonly-used democratic systems, but this isn't
really the place for uninformed musings about political science, and the
GNOME Foundation isn't a particularly good place to experiment with them.
