EC: Voters will be marked with indelible ink in next general election

(The Star) – All voters will be required to have their fingers marked with indelible ink before they are allowed to vote in the next general election.

Election Commission chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof said on Monday that the commission had agreed to ten recommendations made by the Parliamentary Select Committee for electoral reform, and the use of indelible ink was one of them.

Other electoral reforms include the introduction of advanced voting for the police and armed forces, the cleaning-up of the electoral roll, and various changes to the voting process to allow for more transparent and efficient elections.
