From the site Heraldicum.ru the Arms of the Election Committe of the Yaroslav Oblast approved 7 May 2014:
The Balls are taken from the ancient Roman voting system where the voters placed a white or a black ball in the election urn. The Halberd are from the Arms of the Oblast which displays a Bear holding a Halberd.

Re: Election Committee Yaroslav Oblast
We have I suppose all heard of the white ball/black ball system of voting, still used in some London clubs I believe. But the half and half ball is an innovation I had not previously encountered. It gives the voter the opportunity to abstain actively, rather than not voting at all.

Perhaps for voting in Scotland "not proven'?

Would that not be a ball three-quarters black, or simply dark gray?
