If me and my spouse vote for opposite candidates would it be the same if we just didn’t vote?

Yes it matter because of simple maths: For example you live in a town with ten people.
If you and your wife don’t vote, it could be that the score is 2 Vs 6, or 25% Vs 75%.
Now if you both vote, it becomes 3 Vs 7, or 30% Vs 70%.
Adding up 1 to the top and bottom of a fraction changes the fraction
In isolation, this doesn’t matter, but because of the voting system, it does, because those percentages influence seat allocation and that’s what really matters. So if you both vote opposite, you close the gap between candidates
