Why is the use of indelible ink not merely a technical step but an electoral safeguard?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it reduces the possibility of double voting

Correct answer: A. Indelible ink is marked on a voter’s finger after the person votes. The mark remains for some time and helps polling staff recognise that the voter has already exercised the vote. Therefore, the same person is less likely to vote again at the same or another polling station. This protects the principle of one voter having one vote and supports a fair election. It does not itself count votes or operate the voting machine. A is correct because the mark discourages and helps detect repeated voting. B is wrong because ink has no connection with an EVM’s battery. C is wrong because the number of candidates is fixed through nomination and scrutiny, not by ink. D is wrong because ink does not hide counting; counting follows a separate, supervised procedure. Memory cue: ink marks the voter, not the machine or the result.
