Voting strategically

[dpwozney]

I'm still leaning towards spoiling my ballot but maybe there's more than one way to skin a cat. If anyone else has any suggestions please pass them on.

Last week I contacted an “Elections Canada” person and I asked him:

“If someone, in a voting booth on election day, was to write, on a ballot, ‘Only One Choice For Queen’, would that be unlawful or illegal?

The Canada Elections Act states that ‘no person shall wilfully alter, deface or destroy a ballot’.

Is writing, on a ballot, ‘Only One Choice For Queen’, wilfully altering, defacing or destroying a ballot?”.

The “Elections Canada” person stated that writing, on a ballot, “Only One Choice For Queen”, is “not technically illegal” but the ballot “would not be counted”.
