My understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you dislike
all of the candidates you can formally reject your ballot. You go to the
voting station, obtain a ballot, and then say to the polling officer 'I
reject this ballot'. They have to mark you down, and at the end of the
election, there should be a total available of rejected ballots.

Would be in any way effective as a strategy? I doubt it.
