Jacobite Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I've not been an election agent for years, but it may not be spoiled. They have clearly indicated their wishes.Its not the cleverest thing to do but having been an election agent a couple of times these papers usually go in a separate box and a discussion takes place at the end of the count with the agents and candidates to reach an agreement and usually its sorted out no bother. Was over 20 years ago since I last did it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Definitely not spoilt. Spelling looks ok too, however handwriting atrocious ... Edited August 29, 2014 by Toepoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde1998 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think the rules stated that if it's defaced in away way - it's not valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocky Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I believe this will pass... he has made clear who he is voting for. an election agent cant argue any other way... reminds me of the , , , good guy written on a ballot paper and the Presiding Officer allowed the vote to go to the good guy, because he made it clear who he wanted........ Its not smart, and as every vote will count, could be very close, don't do it a X is all that's needed..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindimoo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 No it's not - is it? There was a warning about it on the news the other day. If I recall it's also illegal to take a photograph in the polling booth. I'll try find a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindimoo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Can't find anything online but I think the 1983 Act can be interpreted as such. It was on the radio news that I heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Can't find anything online but I think the 1983 Act can be interpreted as such. It was on the radio news that I heard it. I remember reading something about it a few weeks ago but no idea where. Some guy was trying find out what the rules were. So far he had established that you are not allowed to film or take photos inside a polling station without permission. But reporters can, and often do, but they have to get permission first. For example, you often see important folk casting their votes on the news. He couldn't manage to find anything which said whether you can or can't photo a ballot paper, as far as I remember.

albagubrath Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 He has clearly indicated how he wants to vote and so should be counted. However, why on earth give anyone the chance to interpret the rules differently and allow this vote to be spoilt? The is voting the right way but is an eejit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try find a link. There will be a fuuckload of people getting in trouble on the 18th then. I fully intend to take a photo of my ballot, because I am sad like that.
