Include the count of spoiled ballot papers for all elections.
Currently we have no way to lodge a protest vote other than spoiling our ballot paper, but this makes it look like we do not vote.
The number of spoiled ballots must be part of any election's results to complete the picture and indicate how many people are disillusioned with and frustrated by our politicians.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the number of spoilt ballot papers is already announced as part of election results.
For example, you can find an article here in response to media reports about the number of spoilt ballot papers during the 2019 local election results:
