Soooo, how about if I decide NOT to vote for anyone? Say I decided that I could not support ANY of the parties, and decide instead to provide a little amusement to the counters, by drawing cocks instead of crosses in the boxes? I then cannot be said to have revealed who I have voted for, as I have not voted for anyone.
How about I take a photo of the BLANK ballot paper, then I do my thing with the ballot paper spoiling. I then go away, use the photo to recreate the ballot paper in word, repeat my marking and then tweet a photo of that saying "this is how I voted" I have not published any "information obtained in a polling booth" because I have not used a photo, but I have published something that LOOKS exactly the same. Am I then liable for prosecution?
