There may not be an official impediment to filling in below the line, but given the size of the "table cloths" (and I will admit to being one of those adding to its size) people naturally pick the easiest route.
This does work against independents, its been shown time and again. Making preferential voting optional (ie you don't have to number all the boxes) means that more people will actually select the person that they want rather than just the party they want.
