Having worked at a few elections, I've seen ballot papers with no valid vote but with anarchy symbols on them or slogans like "If voting could change anything it would be illegal". Some folks really go to town with write-in candidates, mostly international figures.

They still turn up to vote, though, so I guess those death threats work, eh?
