Is there an abstain option on the ballot, none of the above?
Can you leave the ballot blank?

Or are you forced to choose a party that you don't agree with if there's none for your liking?

Should iterate that it's compulsory to "show up and vote". - You can write penises on your vote and make it null and void if you so wish.

We have a preferential voting system which I would argue is better than most other democracies.


I of course voted several days ago because I am working remotely currently.

I'll have to look into this a bit more, because at first glance it does sound better than what we have in Canada.

I'm not ok with being forced to vote though. I don't care if I can write anything in and void the ballot. Forcing me to waste my time if I've concluded it's a waste of time, not only sounds anti democratic but will just piss people off.
