I voted early because I am working as a DRO on election day. We are paid, it is not a voluntary position.
Rejected ballots are counted. But they can be rejected for several reasons, so it is not to be construed as a measure a "protest" vote.
And no, it does not make the work any more difficult.
As for the parties ignoring the number.... well it is usually very, very low.
In this riding in 2006 election close to 56000 votes were cast 213 were rejected.
