Article posted:
In voting, a ballot is considered to be spoilt, spoiled, void, null, informal or stray if it is regarded by the election authorities to be invalid and thus not included in the tally during vote counting. This may be done accidentally or deliberately. The total number of spoilt votes in a United States election has been called the residual vote.[1]
Ways of spoiling a ballot include:
an undervote: leaving sections of the ballot blank, or marking nothing at all (though some ballots include an explicit "none of the above" option)
completing the ballot in an illogical or unapproved manner, such as:
an overvote: casting more than the permitted number of votes, for example, more than one vote in a plurality voting system
filling a preference ballot out of sequence, e.g. 1-2-2-3-4 or 1-2-4-5-6
filling the ballot in a manner that makes the voter's decision incomprehensible.
physically deforming ballots, especially those counted by machine
making marks on the ballot other than those necessary to complete it, where the voter's identity can be ascertained, compromising the secrecy of the ballot
If you write in, none of the above, chance are the rest of your votes won't count. Don't want to vote for a specific race? You may be throwing your ballot away.
