Most Creatively Spoilt Ballot Prize

For the disaffected
  (+3)
(+3)
  [vote for,
against]

Spoiling a ballot is one way of saying "None of the above".

What if it could mean something ?

During the count, spoilt ballots are set aside. The candidates and their representatives are permitted to inspect them and dispute the decision of the counters if required; in the case of recounts, these disputed ballots may decide the poll.

But we digress.*

If the spoilt ballot has artistic or humorous qualities, it can be considered for the Most Creatively Spoilt Ballot Prize for the constituency. Though the author retains anonymity - and thus relinquishes any rights to their product to the public domain - the winning item is displayed in the count room, and subsequently published on a website.

There could be a National Championship, too.

*However, we are assured that applying Rentisham's to the Affected Region will effect a near-miraculous cure.

Annotation:







       There is no situation that cannot be alleviated, ameliorated or rectified by the application of Rentisham's. Once the documents are made public, I shall reveal the role of Rentisham's in the de-escalation of the Cuban Missile crisis.

       Slaves have received wages in many cases throughout history. See also: Shanghaiing, prison labor, labor conscription, family court, military drafts, hue and cry laws, ancient Greece, modern Greece, McDonald's.
