how do you spoil a vote withoput it being rejected? i've read on th ebbc that if you write any message on the voting card it will be rejected
You can't spoil a vote without it being rejected. That is the purpose of spoiling a vote.
A vote can only be accepted if it is there is a clear and reasonable indicator that the voter would like their vote to be counted for one candidate only (excepting certain local and regional polls) without prejudice. Everything else is rejected as a spoiled paper and therefore counted as such.
