Not true.

Politicians have a list of people that bothered voting, including those that spoilt their ballots. This voter list is all that matters to your average politician. It's what they obsess over.

They get info about the voters, including their name, address, gender and age. This makes all the difference, as it shows the demographics of the voters. The people they have to appeal to. Ever wonder why politicians bend over backwards to please old people? Why are they so eager to throw young people under the bus? Because, from a political standpoint, the non-voting demographic might as well not exist. 

If more young people spoilt their ballots, politicians would have a reason to throw them a policy or three.

Edit: A lot of people mystified.  The politicians won't know who spoilt their ballots, but they will be fully aware if, say, the number of young voters (spoilt ballots or otherwise) triples.  In many places, even a few hundred young voters can swing the vote and so are worth appealing to.
