Voting

[countryfeedback87]

We had Police Commissioner (the ballot of which I spoilt, and also left a little message - not like anyone reads it but hey ho)

and the "3 choice" local councillors

the only election we have are the police Commisioner voting & have not heard anything about it, apart from the card s telling us theres an election, so don't think this time we may bother, normally we do.

Are you sure?? I assumed the elections were for every ward surely?

Spoiling the ballot paper is just like not voting, so why bother, as for reading it if it is short I am sure the counter will, I know I will if I get any.

Must admit that I briefly considered spoiling mine or not voting as I don't agree with the PPC (just a crook governing the police, with waste and fraud rampant). As someone was going to be put in post anyway I decided I might as well vote for who I felt was the best of a bad lot.

Still think there should be a box for 'None of the above' on the ballot paper. If that gets the highest vote then rerun the election with new candidates.

No such law

I'd rather it be in the "Spoilt" category rather than "did not vote".

My message was short and simple "A waste of money", with each candidates names crossed off

[sidthelamp]

its not against the law the ballot paper will just be rejected

Is it still £150 to be a counter? Not bad for a (admittedly hard) nights work.
