If you accept pencil erasures as legitimate, then seerick is correct, in that it would invite fraud by simple erasing and re-marking. If you don't accept erasures, then pencil or pen would both spoil the ballot with any mistakes.
If you take the ballot out of the box, open it , and count it, immediately, in the presence of witnesses representing the various candidates, the opportunity for bad actions would be greatly reduced.

A pen would reduce it further.
