    To be fair to myself, you can vote for anyone. It just won’t necessarily count since it’ll spoil the ballot.

        You’re given a pen/pencil and asked to fill out a box. Nothing prevents you from writing stuff, but whatever. It’s not like it matters.

          “won’t necessarily count” implies that it might or might not.

          We don’t have write ins in Canada, we just put an X or a check mark next to a name that’s already on the ballot. If you add anything else on it your ballot gets discarded and you vote won’t count even if there’s an X or a check mark next to an actual name.

          I’m starting to doubt that you ever voted in Canada.
