That matches my understanding, except you missed something in the description of identifying ballots. It's OK if you can identify your own ballot. That wouldn't be too hard. It's informal if somebody else can identify that it could be a particular person's ballot without knowing them personally. Thus, the identification rule is if he put down "Joe Bloggs loves you, Mr. Candidate" or "For a good time call: 04-XXXX-XXXX".giri said:If all you did was draw cocks, then it probably was allowed. Though it will be debatable if that would allow you to identify your ballot.
However, if any of the pictures obscured either the signature of the ballot distributor or any of the names of the candidates, that would also make it invalid.
