Changed to title to the one used in the article since it is less click-bait-y. Useful article that goes through some of the misinformation about the voting process

If you are that stupid to write your name on the ballot you deserve your vote to be thrown out. You can’t be that fucking stupid.
How people can fuck up writing “yes” or “no” in a single box is beyond me
Absolutely blew me away both sides handing out “how to vote” pamphlets. For elections it makes more sense but to write a single word in a box is insane

maybe they should have said “to vote no, set your facebook status to: I declare my referendum vote to be NO and this post is legal and binding with no need to vote at ALBO’s FRAUD SITES”
Might have tanked the entire No campaign!
ALBO’s got the AUSTRALIAN electoral commission in his pocket. He’s the AUSTRALIAN prime minister of the AUSTRALIAN government. See what keeps coming up the further I dig into it: AUSTRALIAN. Do you see it? Do you? WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
Just thought I’d also point out how ridiculous it was that bigots made a big deal about the X or tick thing (it’s like pensioners and plastic bags, all over again). The instructions are literally SO clear.
Do they think people are voting who can’t understand those directions?
A No campaigner tried to give me a how to vote card, I told him I already know how to vote
I asked for one and put it in the bin.
One less piece of misinformation going to a gullible fool
i walked past a no campaigner who looked genuinely offended because i just shook my head as i walked past him when he tried handing me pamphlets. he started to say something then caught himself.
If such a passive interaction was enough to set that guy off, hes really not fit to be handing out anything near a polling booth to be honest
In their defence, they probably do need how to vote cards, because I’m sure a lot of the No voters are probably struggling to understand the instructions
Can someone explain to me, a non-Australian, why the hell your ballot asks people to write yes or no?? Why not have two boxes, one that says “yes” and one that says “no” and have people make a mark in the box they want? Then all this nonsense about ticks and crosses wouldn’t matter. If someone marked both boxes their ballot would be invalidated. Easy peasy
Writing out a word takes longer and requires more thought to go into the vote, potentially making you more attached to your vote. Also the ordering of the boxes could be controversial. It says what to do on the ballot, if you can’t do that you’re probably not qualified to have an opinion
Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!
