Spoiled Ballot Papers

Postby gordon the moron » Fri May 04, 2007 9:26 am

The story all over the news this morning is of thousands of ballot papers not being included in the count for yesterdays elections because they were incorrectly completed or folded.

Did anyone on the forum have any problems understanding what they were supposed to do?

nope it was all very clearly laid out in the info sent to the hoose and once you got there i was asked again if i understood exactly what i had to do, think the problem more down to people not readin the info or payin attention to what they were told

Either that or we can pray it's all the SNP voters!!!

Voting SNP is like turkeys voting for Xmas!!! (in my opinion)

Pregnant chads revisited (would be a great band name)... Sounds like your Florida visitor might have instructed you on ballot forms :wink:

Well, when I went in to the polling station and saw the instructions, first thought was WTF !!!

But once I was given the 2 ballot papers and read them it was fairly simple.
