The Australian Electoral Commission has said ticks would likely be counted as Yes votes, while a cross would likely not be counted, a decision that has attracted the ire of the federal Coalition.
i tend to agree, the instructions are pretty simple, but lets face it some of us have freaking terrible handwriting (and some physically cant due to various disabilities etc). 2 boxes would have been the most foolproof method
Why is this a single box people have to write in, rather than two boxes with "yes" or "no" that the voter has to tick, cross, fill in to select?
What if people write yes/no in their own language.
Honestly this set up does seem dumb and leaves so much to for error.

I think there'd be a big fight over the order of the boxes
