In Australia this is a standard practice. It’s technically an “informal vote” or a “spoiled vote” but its colloquially known as Donkey Voting. The traditional method is to actually just draw a big dick on the paper, though.
And no one has been, or ever will be, fined for this. We don’t even, in practice, have compulsory voting. We have ‘Compulsory Turning Up To Your Opportunity To Vote’.
I’m just imagining trolling this. Doing a couple of the pubes slightly crossed kinda over one of the options so the candidates have to take time discussing whether they think it counts as a vote or not.
We have that in Canada too. It’s to prevent vote buying/intimidation. People would mark their ballot to prove they voted for the person they were supposed to.

Sadly, I think they go with “clear and unambiguous mark only” and “no other marks on the page”.
