From the 1983 Referendum “Can Abortion Ever Save The Mother’s Life? ….No” November 15, 2012
A rather unusual spoilt vote …. “… Ctulhu shall rise from the sunken city of R’yLeh and Simply devour his opponents”
A vote for Ctulhu with the text “Irrelevant, Ctulhu shall rise from the sunken city of R’yLeh and Simply devour his opponents” from the Lisgoold/Leamlara Community Council Election 2012.
I reckon (after a bit of searching) that the voter was a fan of the writer H. P. Lovecraft
Many Thanks to the sender.
