The Australian Electoral Commission has said ticks would likely be counted as Yes votes, while a cross would likely not be counted, a decision that has attracted the ire of the federal Coalition.

    If the instructions say to write yes or no and you put a tick or a cross, you’re too dumb for your vote to count.

      To be honest, I can see where the no campaign is coming from though - seems unfair for ticks to count as a valid vote but crosses to not count.

      Remove them both IMO, but that ship has sailed for this particular referendum.

        Yep if you count a tick as yes you need to count a cross as no. Super dodgy from the Yes side to try and get both as a yes.
