    Yes, it is.

    It's always been a pencil, certainly for at least past 40 years.

    Pencil is quite normal, I was reading about it on BBC news.
    They said that you can either use the pencil or a pen nowdays.
    I don't think anyone will erase it, thousands are voting, and they have to count them very quickly!

    no legal document should ever be signed in pencil , so why should a ballot paper ?
    and no documents sent to gov departments would be accepted in pencil. black ink is required
