While the majority of voters marked a singular box on their ballot paper yesterday to have their say on who their local councillor could be, others thought outside the box with different messages in mind.
Hundreds of people headed to their local polling station to instead pass on their thoughts of frustration over the handling of Brexit from central Government and then took to social media to boast about it.
Some voters, largely passionate Brexiters, scribbled graffiti over their ballot paper, including the messages 'Get May out', 'Deliver Brexit' and simply 'Traitor'.
Spoiling your ballot paper is not illegal, however deliberately filling in the paper incorrectly or covering it with graffiti will consider the 'vote' invalid, which is probably besides the point for those who did it.
Regardless of the papers being considered as invalid, staff participating in the electoral count will still count them up.
In the 2015 local election, there was a total of almost 100,000 'rejected' or 'spoilt' votes across the UK, according to Vote None.
Although it can be seen from Twitter that there was a vast amount of spoilers this year, we'll have to wait and see for the exact tally for this year's election.
Here are just some of the boycotted ballet papers shared on Twitter:
One user applauds those who spoilt their ballot paper and said to "treat the system with the contempt it deserves".
Another user encourages others to get involved with suggestions of what to say:
Although spoiling the paper isn't illegal, anti-voters did take a risk as photography is not allowed in polling stations as part of the secrecy requirements set out in the Representation of the People Act.
Tories drop Manchester election candidate who dubbed Curry Mile the 'P*** Mile'
With Nigel Farage's new Brexit Party not standing in the council elections, and UKIP only fielding candidates in around one in six seats, many frustrated Brexiters felt they had no place to go.
But all that could change in the forthcoming European elections - in which latest polls suggest Farage's party could pick up 30 per cent of the vote. That would be a nine-point lead over Labour, with the Conservatives down to just 13 per cent.
