Indelible ink is used in the electoral process to prevent which problem?

Correct answer: Repeated voting by the same voter

Correct answer: A. During polling, an indelible mark is placed on the voter’s finger according to the applicable procedure. Because the mark remains for some time, polling staff can identify that the person has already voted. This helps prevent the same voter from attempting to vote again at the same or another polling place. A is correct because the mark supports the principle of one voter, one vote. B is wrong because counting delays concern arrangements and counting procedures. C is wrong because campaign expenditure is controlled through different rules. D is wrong because nomination errors are checked during the nomination stage. The ink does not decide whom a person votes for; it helps protect the integrity of the polling process. Memory cue: “Indelible mark, no second turn.”
