The essay section is optional and thus you can choose not to sign up for it. However, a college that actually requires the essay may not use a test that has no essay section done.

It is my understanding that ACT cancels tests that leave a section unanswered.

As to just blowing off a section by doing something like providing random answers without reading any of the questions or answers, be aware that colleges that superscore state they use the highest section scores in determining admission; however, that policy does not in any way prevent the college from considering against you the fact that it appears you purposefully blew off sections of the test. Moreover, if the resulting score is much lower than your existing score, ACT will likely flag the test for investigation and then probably cancel it, or, much worse, ACT will cancel your first test.
