...ballot (by voting for every candidate for every position, or by drawing pretty pictures as opposed to casting a vote), the electronic system refuses to accept any form that has not been completed properly.

In addition, many specialized plug-ins are incompatible with the program, although the majors-RealAudio, Quicktime, etc.-work just fine...
