Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning, sentence 2

Your vote is secret, so nobody can bully or pay you to vote their way; Mum can tell you who she chose if she wants to, but she never has to.

Who acts: vote, nobody, Mum, Your · What happens: be, bully, pay, vote, tell, choose · To what, where: you, way · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Elections and voting: ballots, counting and winning» of the politics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (vote, nobody, Mum, Your), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
