In Canada's federal election, we had upto some 6 cirlces with the name right next to it. Just simple as that. It looks to be that it's pretty fucking confusing...

I'm with you. Every ballot paper in Australia is done in exactly the same way - no different processes for different states - all votes are centrally counted.
OT: We actually don't vote for a prime minister directly - we vote for a local candidate, and the party with enough candidates voted in form government, who then choose a leader (though this is known before hand, and a choice would only need to be made if that person failed in his local electorate). And we number our candidates, as we work on a two-party preferred system (which means the the lowest voted for candidate is eliminated and those who voted for him count next to their second preference, until only 2 are left - the two preferred parties
) - plus voting is compulsory over the age of 18. /OT
