The campaign to nullify votes, also known as Mobteloon, continued to spread online in order to call people to go to their polling stations and spoil their ballots.
The spoiled ballot papers show Egyptians' creativity in objecting to both presidential candidates. Some voters decided to stick to their revolutionary side and write things like: "Glory to martyrs, down with military rule, the revolution continues."
Others chose to portray their funny side and vote for "Batman" and "Hayatem," a famous Egyptian belly-dancer. Some voters also voted for their former favor candidates like Hamdeen Sabbahi and Mohamed ElBaradei.
The campaign to nullify votes was formed in an attempt to convince people to express their views and to reject a presidential candidate whose authorities are yet to be determined by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces.
Another voter spoiled his vote by giving it to El Baradei and wrote:
''No constitution or elections under military rule. Boycotting is
justified Shafiq and I will not give my vote to someone who sold us out
for the fake democratic Parliament. Down with military rule, glory to
martyrs''.
