I don't understand why a vote in any legislative body would ever be secret.

I don't know about where you are from, but here in France we have a general principle of electoral law as a whole, which applies to nearly every vote that is in the slight official that is organized in the country, that any vote on a person should be secret, and any vote on other matters can be secret or not depending on what the parts agree on.
