Silly question......by 'abstain' do you mean that you just won't bother to
vote, or is that something you can do at the polling station to reflect
your displeasure with the choice of candidate?

Up here in Canada (ceratinly in Ontario, at least) we have an option called
'decline the ballot'.   You go to the polling station, accept
your ballot - we still use paper, btw - then 'decline' it.  Your ballot
then has to be recorded in that specific category.  It at least shows that
you cared enough to go out and perform that action rather than just staying
home.
