I just noticed this myself. The committee has resolved formally that no such
indicators be put on papers, and the returning officer has been informed. I
don't know why it happened again...

Given, in the current climate, that being an incumbent is an advantage.

I hope from the otherwise resounding silence in this group that everyone
has already voted and returned their ballot papers...
