EC calls for bigger and bolder indelible voting mark on forefinger
April 02, 2015
The indelible ink mark on your forefinger signifying participation in democracy will now be bigger and bolder, helping you show it prominently in a selfie.
The Election Commission has asked all chief electoral officers to ensure that henceforth, the mark is prominent enough to prevent it from being erased by impersonators and is visible from a distance.
The reason for the EC's instruction was complaints that minimum application of the ink by polling officers helped impersonators remove it and make an attempt to vote again.
