Only if they wash their hands first.
You jest, but under Australian laws at least, if the ballot is marked in any way other than to indicate your vote, it must be thrown out. So yeah, don’t get jizz on your ballot folks.
Is there a country where you should jizz on your ballot?
Legally? I don't think so
Morally? Plenty
Russia?
America.
Same thing
Theres probably an entire porn category where Russians fuck the US elections.
This isn’t true.
The tests of whether a ballot is formal under Australian law is primarily to make sure the intent of the voter is clear. If the scrutineer is comfortable that, for example, the numbers are legible and in boxes on the ballot paper, then it doesn’t matter what else is on it.
As far as I know there are no rules saying you can’t cum on your ballot paper as long as you also numbering the boxes correctly to indicate your preference.
I used to be an election scrutineer. The formality rules are here
Idk in Australia, but in the US (or at least my state) you don't get complete privacy while voting, just a cardboard thing to block view of your ballot. If you tried to cum on your ballot here you'd definitely get arrested for indecency
Postal voting would work.
Yes, it is. You’re right about the intention of the voter, but you’re still wrong. The rules around other marks on the ballot are to prevent election interference. If someone wanted to pay for votes, getting people to mark their ballot is one way they could verify it.
It is also obviously up to the individual scrutineers as well. A grey lead smudge is probably fine. Writing your name on the ballot will get it chucked out though. I’ve also worked as a scrutineer for what it’s worth.
Show me where those rules are please. I will believe you if I see them.

Secret ballot isn’t just a right, it’s an obligation. You can’t do anything to de-anonymise your ballot. We just happen to live in a country where making sure every voter gets to exercise the franchise comes above all else, unlike the US. I definitely exaggerated a bit for the joke, but to say that getting cum on your ballot wouldn’t ever get your vote declared informal also isn’t true. Ultimately, it comes down to the Divisional Returning Officer’s discretion.
Now can we please put this to rest, I think it’s a bit much for a cum joke, don’t you?
To me that seems to be talking about protest marks. Unintentional jizz doesn't seem to be a protest mark.
What if I use jizz to vote?
Best way to avoid hanging chads
Get with the times, women have been allowed to vote for awhile now!
I thought this was a rule in every democratic country.
Was gonna say not with the same hand
If you vote with the other hand, is it like someone else is doing it?
Like, at the same time?
Yes, and yes.
Cum, or lady cum, into the ballot box of your chosen candidate.
The one with the most volume of body fluids wins.
It also makes recounts easy as you just need to reweigh the container.
Pros:
- Increased voter turn~~on~~out
- Hearing your candidate won in a "white out"
Cons:
- Even longer lines at polling places
- Mail-in ballots need special envelopes
If you have low volume, don't even bother voting. There will also be drugs tests to catch "performance" enhancing drugs.
if you stopped all masturbators from voting, you'd have like three voters left.
I don't know if I want my countries decisions made by three liars.
Are you counting people who have never or that currently don't?
Don't you hate it when your nut doesn't have enough force to fully punch out the chad and then your vote doesn't get counted properly?
Literally no one would be allowed to vote otherwise
At the same time?
