> correct me if i'm wrong, but you don't actually have to vote, you just need to turn in a ballot. you could put in a ballot that was blank. that's true but npcs simply vote for their favourite party rather than doing this. in the 2022 election, only 5.1% of votes were "informal", a statistic that includes people who deliberately handed in blank ballots, drew penises on them or for whatever reason the ballot wasn't counted, perhaps because they made a mistake.
