There's an app called VoteWithMe that literally tells you the voting history of everyone in your contacts. Not who they voted for--just what elections they've voted in. Honestly, it was reading about that app last night that got me really agitated. It's slightly controversial. Some people think it's a good way to pressure others to engage in democracy. But I'm just a person who's very private and I don't feel that everything that's in the public record should necessarily be made so easily available. Marriage records are also public record, but I'm not about to make an app that tells you everyone in your contacts who's in a same-sex marriage.

As for why...some people are just really nosy. And I'm not good at handling it. But I think I just need to tell my boss and my colleague to go F themselves if they get in my face about my voting record. Unless anyone has a better idea.
