We had a 45% turnout here - and we think that's good? I think it's a disgrace! More than half the people entitled to vote didn't bother >>:-(

And amongst that 45% were two members of my family (not me, I have to say) who deliberately spoiled ballot papers. However, we do wish there was some was of distinguishing between deliberately spoiled papers and those people who just, for example, put a number instead of an X, or some other mistake!
