      You jest, but under Australian laws at least, if the ballot is marked in any way other than to indicate your vote, it must be thrown out. So yeah, don’t get jizz on your ballot folks.

          Legally? I don’t think so

        This isn’t true.

        The tests of whether a ballot is formal under Australian law is primarily to make sure the intent of the voter is clear. If the scrutineer is comfortable that, for example, the numbers are legible and in boxes on the ballot paper, then it doesn’t matter what else is on it.

        As far as I know there are no rules saying you can’t cum on your ballot paper as long as you also numbering the boxes correctly to indicate your preference.

        I used to be an election scrutineer. The formality rules are here

          Idk in Australia, but in the US (or at least my state) you don’t get complete privacy while voting, just a cardboard thing to block view of your ballot. If you tried to cum on your ballot here you’d definitely get arrested for indecency

          Yes, it is. You’re right about the intention of the voter, but you’re still wrong. The rules around other marks on the ballot are to prevent election interference. If someone wanted to pay for votes, getting people to mark their ballot is one way they could verify it.

          It is also obviously up to the individual scrutineers as well. A grey lead smudge is probably fine. Writing your name on the ballot will get it chucked out though. I’ve also worked as a scrutineer for what it’s worth.

              Ballots with scribbles, slogans or other protest vote marks

              https://www.aec.gov.au/about_aec/research/files/informal-voting-2016.pdf#page9

              Secret ballot isn’t just a right, it’s an obligation. You can’t do anything to de-anonymise your ballot. We just happen to live in a country where making sure every voter gets to exercise the franchise comes above all else, unlike the US. I definitely exaggerated a bit for the joke, but to say that getting cum on your ballot wouldn’t ever get your vote declared informal also isn’t true. Ultimately, it comes down to the Divisional Returning Officer’s discretion.

              Now can we please put this to rest, I think it’s a bit much for a cum joke, don’t you?

                To me that seems to be talking about protest marks. Unintentional jizz doesn’t seem to be a protest mark.

      Cum, or lady cum, into the ballot box of your chosen candidate.

      The one with the most volume of body fluids wins.

      It also makes recounts easy as you just need to reweigh the container.

        Pros:

        • Increased voter turnonout
        • Hearing your candidate won in a “white out”

        Cons:

        • Even longer lines at polling places
        • Mail-in ballots need special envelopes

          If you have low volume, don’t even bother voting. There will also be drugs tests to catch “performance” enhancing drugs.
