Correct ..... you could probably even leave the ballot papers sitting on
the Issuing table if you wanted .... or put them (unmarked) in the
Ballot Boxes .... or walk out of The Polling Place with them .... or
give them to someone standing in line, maybe.

But *YOU MUST GET YOUR NAME MARKED OFF* or wear the Fine!
