The advice is to classify it as ' voter's intention uncertain '. We can all accept that elections are about selecting candidates. And of course a protest vote must be rejected as a vote for a candidate.

But by mixing protest votes with mistakes and unclear or 'spoilt' ballots, this classification is used to silence UK democratic protest. Like absentions in meetings and in parliament, protest votes should be counted separately. If enough people vote NONE, it will become indefensible in practice. The weakness in their classification is that the ' voter's intent ' in the example is clear. However, it is technically not clear beyond dispute.

There is a tick in a candidate box, which can be accepted as a vote in place of a cross. So only the scribbled words show it's not a vote for the candidate. To establish a right to say ' no ' in UK elections 1. Write NONE across the ballot paper, so that your intention is clear beyond dispute. Multiply the number of protest votes. One third of all registered voters didn't vote last time. There are potential protest voters everywhere around you. There's no reason to be silent.

Put up posters, hand out leaflets in busy places, and send tweets to engage non-voters everywhere. Share and like these pages. See the red action box and Why Vote?

The numbers are possible. If you choose to spoil your ballot, it will be invalid and not count towards any of the candidates. However it will be counted alongside other invalid papers and announced in the election votes.
