We will be taking the dog out past there 'anyway' so it's no waste of
time. Faceplant No1

simply to scrawl

Write neatly (Faceplant No2)

some nonsense on his polling slip

Only 'nonsense' if you don't understand the meaning of NOTA? (And so
Faceplant No3).

puts
him in the same league as those mindless people who spray graffiti
and other 'artwork' on walls, trains, buses, bridges, ....

Given it's not any form of graphic, tag or logo, but well accepted
acronym and on a medium I'm invited to mark, that makes it Faceplant
No4. That's what happens when you let your fantasies rule your sense.

No need to be challenged, it's not illegal and is my democratic right.

The percentage of people who vote in local elections is very low,
and for elected police commissioners even lower.

Bingo. I wonder why? I wonder if it could be for any / all of the
reasons I've mentioned?

Simply drawing names
out of a hat might be more representative for the latter.
