At my Uni, all elections had RON standing as a candidate -- Re-Open Nominations. I wish the real elections had the same. If RON won, the post was left vacant and another election called.

I think the closest protest is the "spoilt ballot paper". I just wish more people viewed that as a valid means of protest than thinking people don't know how to vote...
