In Canada we have the option to "decline to vote". Go to the polling station, register your name, take the ballot, then tell the clerk that you "decline to vote". This indicates that you believe that no-one on the ballot is a suitable candidate for office. The ballot is counted, but none of the candidates gets a vote.

I noticed something similar when I voted in the primary this year. I voted in the Republican primary, and there were *two* choices for president: Bush and "Undecided" (or maybe it was "Uncommitted"). Anyway, my question: can you decline to vote on an office-by-office basis, or is it all or nothing? -- Shawn K. Quinn
