What we mean by ‘likely to contradict or hinder instructions or guidance given for voting’
We are required to consider whether an identity mark would contradict instructions or guidance for voting (e.g. ‘tick here’, or an emblem with a cross in it).
We will also reject an identity mark if, in our opinion, we believe a voter would likely make a mistake on the ballot which would invalidate their vote, for example by voting for too many candidates.
