I missed that partially because you can write in your name. I didn't see that as being invalid. Also, you are still registered to vote which for me personally is still showing some support to the status quo. I have no problem with what you are doing here. I wouldn't do it but that's me. Its a journey. I have voted. Then I stopped. Then I unregistered.
Oh, I guess the system is just different here.
We don't have to register to vote here in Central Europe. We are automatically registered. It's linked to our residential address / government ID. We get a letter and we can use that letter to vote or go to an office to vote. Also, there is no field where you can write arbitrary names into it. Here, there are just boxes with names next to them. You vote by putting an "X" into one of these boxes.
Afaik, there is no "unregistering". But good point, I am not sure and will look into that.

Ha! I assumed you were in the US. Yeah we can write in candidates here and its not supposedly invalid.
Personally I don't consider voting giving any sort of consent but it does show involvement/engagement. I get very strong opinions if I share that I don't vote around most people. Generally I don't bring it up unless asked.

Strong signal that democracy/voting is a religion for most people. Its the invisible kind. When you say you don't believe or don't do it its like blasphemy to them. They feel threatened or angry because you aren't going along. In the US democracy and voting is hammered into our brains in the government schools and constantly in mass media.

There's no "here" or "there". It's everywhere the same shit slavery system.
Don't put yourself into their jurisdiction cage.
