The AEC recommends only writing the word “Yes” or “No” and the tweet in question may mislead voters into voting informally. https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/experts-hit-out-at-petty-and-angry-voice-ballot-furore-as-specific-rules-to-vote-clarified/news-story/4ba6bfb96d6a19424e773fd97496488e
