Is this a proper way to ensure secure voting?

In past elections there were allegations of voting irregularities.
To prevent this during the upcoming local election, the local Registrar of Voters is requesting that all voters take a laxative the night before election day.

Sadly, there isn't. Any counting mechanism, electronic or manual, can be inaccurate or falsified. The suggestion of receipts doesn't help: just because the receipt says I voted for person X doesn't mean the machine counted it that way.
