If You Spoil Your Ballot Paper ..

[bednobs]

are you counted in the percentage numbers of people who voted/turnout?

[webbo3]

Yes.

[naomi24]

Are you going to spoil yours, bednobs?

[bednobs]

possibly, or maybe i'll just not go at all.

or maybe i'll give myself the small satisfaction of writing "you're all knobs" on the bottom

 

[naomi24]

Just one snag with that.  The people it's intended for won't see it.

[bednobs]

well, i admit it's MOST likely i'll stay at home

[davebro3]

I have said repeatedly that I won't vote again BUT (according to the polls) it looks like there's a chance our Tory MP might lose his substantial majority. So I may just give him +1.

[jourdain2]

Perhaps there should be a 'None of the above' option - and that tally should be announced.

[bednobs]

i would vote for that jourdain!

the people in my area represent te following parties:

conservative, labour, Lib Dem, UKIP, freedom alliance, green, reform.

i dodnt even know UKIP still existed.  freedom alliance seem a bit barmy.  the others all leave me cold.

[Ellipsis]

Yes, I have done it three times in my life ...

sort of: the results will say electorate contains X voters, Y valid votes, X invalid votes

There was a petition for all spoilt papers to be counted as valid. It got tw signatures

that second X was meant to be a Z. So I've spoilt my answer. 🙁
