No you can't, your ballot will be invalid. The ballot shown in the article explicitly says "Fill in no more than one oval for each candidate".

- 24gttghh 6y agoThis is false for Maine. It is a valid way to vote for a single candidate and not rank the rest. The ballot advises you not to do this, but it doesn't explicitly invalidate your ballot. See slide #6: https://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/upcoming/pdf/RCVMarkedBallots.Updated101420.pdf https://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/elec/upcoming/pdf/RCVMarkedBal... You can vote for a single candidate across all your choices/rounds (across a single row), but voting for multiple candidates in the same choice will invalidate your ballot (down a single column). Multiples down a column would be like filling in all the circles for all candidates on a normal ballot, or even not filling any in. Same difference.
- rtsil 6y agoI stand corrected. The ballot says "do not fill more than one oval for each candidate", but apparently doing so does not invalidate the vote.
