From the BBC live feed:

Conservative MP Glyn Davies - who held the Montgomeryshire seat in mid-Wales - admitted to being "rather pleased" with holding his 5,300 majority. However, one of those who ended up voting for him might not share his glee.

He wrote on Facebook: "One voter decided to draw a detailed representation of a penis instead of a cross in my box on one ballot paper. Amazingly, because it was neatly drawn within the confines of the box, the returning officer deemed it a valid vote. Not sure the artist meant it to count, but I am grateful. If I knew who it was, I would like to thank him (or her) personally."

He added later: "Seems it doesn't actually have to a cross. It's one of the funniest election incidents I've ever known of."

The penis drawer is bound to be in the papers over the next few days. He'll get a few quid for it.

When i stood for election the returning officer went through the dubious ballot papers with the three candidates. One of them had "Not this c**t" against the Lib Dem, "Not this slimy w**ker" against the conservative and "He's my man" against my name. The returning officer suggested that it should be counted as a vote for me.
