Yeah, that’s not how to spoil a vote. An unscrupulous counter can mark one of the boxes for their preference and it would very likely still be allowed. The benchmark is basically has the voter clearly indicated a preference. And whilst you are not supposed to write elsewhere it would still likely pass that benchmark. And in a tight race with recounts it will absolutely be argued for it to be counted.
Going by newstalk it sounds like spoiled votes may beat Heather Humphreys
Ah, that’s sweet.
What language is that writing?
Looking at some of the early tallies, it seems there could be more spoiled votes than actual votes for Humphries.
Keeping with the tradition that vote-spoilers aren’t the brightest.
That’s a blank ballot, technically.
Is this picture taken at the count? Or what?
At least that’s likely a real vote. So many of the ‘spoiled’ ballots on social media are unfolded and thus clearly fake.
Large number of spoiled votes shows how limited the choice was for this election was.
I wonder there will be any reform on the selection process as a result.
Should vote counters be taking pictures of the votes ?
Should votes be being posted online? Spoiled or otherwise.
I spoiled for the first time in my life because no good candidate’s, not looking for a right wing candidate either but a centre one . The left madness has to stop.
I know it doesnt matter this time around- president is only a letterhead position here
But in general I will be selecting candidate’s who give a fuck and people’s anger/opinions/ concerns and not just the spineless crowd in now who will do what they are told by the EU
Write 3 in the box beside the candidate of your third choice.
