I can't believe this is an actual Frequently Asked Question:
Is someone allowed to eat a ballot?
Eating a ballot, not returning it or otherwise destroying or defacing it constitutes a serious breach of the Canada Elections Act. These rules are part of a system of unobtrusive checks and balances that are intended to protect the integrity of the voting process and Canadians' trust in the integrity of the electoral system. The relevant procedures provided by the Act are summarized below.

I read about this a while ago. There was some fringe lobby group that decided, as a protest, to eat their ballots. It obviously caused enough of a problem that the elections act was changed.
