SA Elections 2014 : IEC Controls the Voting via Marked Thumbs

IEC staff inked the left thumbs of all those who voted. The ink is special and will not wash off for several days. It will show all those who participated and prevented people from voting more than once. ID books were also stamped to show who has voted. City Press reported that a  number of voters claimed to have been able to remove the indelible ink applied to each voter’s left thumb and thumbnail when voting.   IEC deputy chairperson Terry Tselane responded by saying that they were lying.  At least one reporter from City Press managed to clean his finger shortly after casting a special vote on Monday.. Asked whether there are ways to verify that a voter didn’t vote twice, Tselane admitted that this could only be done if someone objected.
