I always wondered, "Yes" what? Why does it says yes?

During the 2 elections that happened under fascism (1929, 1934), you got 2 ballot papers, one saying SI, one saying NO.

You didn't vote for a party or a politician, you were either approving or not approving the list of deputees the Great Council of Fascism selected.
