UK: Review under way on voting chaos
Advertisements [?]
The polls have been hit by major problems with seven counts suspended and up to 100,000 ballot papers spoilt.

Technical failures, confusion about how to fill in ballot papers and problems with postal votes have all been blamed.
...
"It is important that they look as a matter of urgency into delays in postal ballots, the high number of spoiled ballot papers, and the performance of the electronic counting machines."

A commission spokeswoman said she could not comment on whether the election would have to be re-run.

The Scottish version of the butterfly ballot. Note the BBC has changed their link to the pictures of filling out a ballot to the slightly sarcastic "How you {should have} voted".
