Who do you think is going to read your blank ballot?
My constituency has 250,000+ people in it.
Do you REALLY think that someone is going to sift through over two hundred and fifty THOUSAND ballots, find one that has “abstain” on it and go “oh – we must find this person and find out why they are upset with the process”?
Also – not to put too fine a point on it – voting is supposed to be anonymous. If I write “abstain” on my ballot and they track me down, isn’t that FAR more worrying?
Stop thinking and start voting!

When my mum got called for election-office duty, she found some ballots with crap in it.
Maybe rephrase your other comment then.
Vote early and vote often!
Think AND vote
