Drawing a penis on a ballot paper is frustrating for people who actually care about the country – you've registered to vote so perhaps you could have spent 5 minutes becoming informed, and then making a proper vote rather than drawing a penis and rendering your vote informal (i.e. not counted).

That said it's infinitely better than donkey voting which is a more serious issue that plagues our elections.

A donkey vote is when someone numbers their preferences from top to bottom, or bottom to top on the ballot paper. This is considered a formal vote, and your paper will affect the results. Positions on the ballot paper are randomised to try and reduce this as much as possible.
