The ink on the finger is to confirm that a person has voted & cannot vote again. The ink stays on the finger for a few weeks & is very difficult to remove in 1 day.

[@aakash0121]

Trust me, I am still trying to get it off my finger.😂

[@sunilkumargo1096]

It's actually indelible ink manufactured at Mysore. This ink is also exported to few other countries for election purposes

[@crazyyhunk1948]

it stay for few days not for few weeks

[@sangamb8429]

And only one company in entire India makes that ink and thats also under govt surveillance

Unrecognised parties are those who have registered themselves but are yet to get a designated amount of votes to get recognised.

[@bhagatsingh_1993]

12:00 Wheel chairs are provided for disabled people at polling booths and People above 85 years of age are allowed to vote at their homes through postal ballot.

[@BismayNayak-cv8gl]

the ink used in fingers is a type permanent ink which stays for some days. it s done so that one voter cannot vote multiple time

[@travelroundvideos7470]

Election ink compositions is based on silver nitrate, which can produce a stain lasting several weeks. It was first used during the 1962 Indian general election in India. The ink was developed by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL), a Research Institute of CSIR, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India.

Our national ID card is mainly the Aadhar card, and we have a separate Voter ID Card for voting. We register for it when we turn 18.

[@nandeswarhajong8487]

I no need to carry any card. Just need finger print. Anyway u can understand

[@advenvtech]

We had paper ballots earlier but moved to EVM because with paper ballots, entire constituencies would have managed voting, meaning ballot boxes would be captured and votes of party would be forcibly replaced with the original. We called it booth capturing.

[@thehawkseye3412]

Also counting that many votes is tedious. Whoever talks about ballet paper voting for such a large population is simply people who don't have to do it.

[@user-ql8vm8jw6z]

That is non erasable ink. It is put on every voters index finger once they finish voting. This is to ensure that everyone only votes once.

[@thungem5672]

unrecognised parties are those parties which are either newly registered or which have not secured enough percentage of votes in the assembly or general elections to become a state party or those which have never contested elections since being registered. Registered but unrecognised political parties don’t enjoy all the benefits extended to the recognised parties.

In India we go with our voting ids to the polling station, where our ids will be matched with an electoral roll and the roll will be crossed indicated that this person has voted and an ink will be applied on finger to indicate the same. And then we can vote and leave.

[@dhananjaymishra4996]

"Vote from home" option is open for Sr. citizens. EC sets up polling station for just 1 voter and some champions of democracy like to lecture us on democracy.

[@ameyaspadhye]

1. Centenarians means people who have crossed age of 100 years. 2. Unrecognized party means any candidate who run for the election independently, without affiliation to any existing party. 3. EVMs are not connected to the internet, so they can't be hacked remotely in any way. I casted my vote. It felt like celebrating a festival. First look at the voting machine gave me goosebumps that this machine is my tiny contribution in such a HUGE country's democracy. Felt patriotic too. :)

[@rahulkapur687]

Mindblowing! An example of real democracy at work since 1947...bravo India!! 🇮🇳

[@parthukani9786]

That’s the reason why we are called The Mother of democracy.

[@anantr99]

Pretty much the same system in India as well. Constituencies are divided into wards, and each ward has a designated polling station. These polling stations are usually schools, universities, and other large public buildings. Each voter is given a designated polling station, where you can go with your Voter ID card and a slip that is given with these details. In each polling station, you have a polling room that is decided based on where you live (the idea being that each room would normally cover 400-700 voters, so essentially a colony or a number of apartment blocks grouped together). You go in, and present your ID and slip. These are cross-referenced with the Voter list with the officials, and your name is struck off that list. You sign in a register, get your finger inked (to show that you have voted), and then go to a secluded area of the room to vote. In this secluded area, you have a EVM, where you press the button corresponding to the party you want to vote for. There is a VVPAT (Voter-verifiable paper audit trail) machine nearby, which will generate a slip with your vote. This is for cross-referencing to ensure your vote has gone to who you want it to go to. Any discrepancies can be raised here. The EVMs will finally be counted for votes on the counting day. The paper slips of the VVPAT machines are also saved, and candidates who place second and third in a constituency can request a re-count across a certain number of polling stations in their constituency. When that is done, the VVPAT slips are opened, and counted, with the results being cross-referenced with the EVM. Any mismatches here can lead to a re-election in that constituency using paper ballots, but this is not something that has happened to date. Oh, and if technology does fail, India still retains a sizeable stock and production capabilities to conduct a ballot-based election. It's just somewhat more expensive and difficult to tally on such a massive scale, which is why EVMs are used. Also, there were instances in the past when goons of a party would loot / replace the paper ballot vote boxes in order to favour their parties.

[@ashoks5317]

If we were to have paper ballot we need paper from 200 acres of Casurina tree. Hence EVM which is reusable machine .

[@mg9854]

Also there used to be so much corruption in the Ballot paper elections where goons used to hijack and destroy the papers which they suspected contained other party's votes and also used to easily cast fake votes in support of their party! No wonder the Congress wants Ballot papers back lol!

4:25 Means they're not in mainstream , If I start a political party, my party will be called unrecognised party , if I succeed to secure a percentage of vote then my party will be recognised...!

[@prathameshkulkarni99]

There are 2 machines 1 is EVM(electronic voting machine) where our votes gets registered and second one is Voter verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT) machine in which physical reciept of vote is dropped. So when we press on EVM we see one receipt inside EVM by which we can confirm we voted right candidate, then that receipt keep on display for around 15 seconds, then that receipt gets dropped in VVPAT machine. Once this process gets completed machine makes sound ....then only officials can send next voter to polling booth. So while counting process they can cross tally votes registered electronically on EVM and actual copies of same in VVPAT machine

[@utsav_deep]

That marker on finger is for indicating that this person has voted .... its permanent marker but goes away after a few weeks (ie stays long enough that same person cant lie about not have given vote). The evm is not connected to internet or bluetooth and is programmed on low level with one time hard coding to ensure that hacking is not possible. Any attempt to tamper evm makes that evm bricked (ie useless).

[@nimeshbhatt7946]

Zuzana,Here is your answer.1/ the mark on the finger suggest that you have voted, earlier there used to stop bogus voting, now it doesn't happen but the mark is still on. 2unrecognized means individual candidates who contest election.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING BACK MY FAVOURITE HONOURABLE PALKI SHARMA.

[@shroudedrambler4809]

To prevent double bogus voting.

[@shroudedrambler4809]

India exports this special indelible ink to 25 Countries worldwide , though the form of use may vary.

[@yvprajapati]

They are marking with paint/ink so person don't vote twice...

[@dipudtt]

The ink mark is given to the person who has casted their vote. The independent candidates are called unrecognized as they have no party, but legal.

[@yamraj742]

1.Here also it happens in schools(voting i meant) 2. EVM are not connected to any wire they work on self attached battery pack so no chance hacking 3. The ink is an alcohol based semi permanent ink that last for atleast 3to4 days makes it easy if one try to double cast on top of that your unique card number is also checked before allowing you to vote so even if you manage to clean the ink you are still gonna get cought

[@mg9854]

The paint/ink is actually put on the index finger of the voter once he/she casts his/her vote as a rough or first line method to distinguish someone who has voted from the ones who haven't. The ink is almost impossible to remove in just 1 day (I voted almost a week ago and despite washing my hands multiple times it is still there on my finger lol) and of course isn't the only way to determine if the person has voted. They also place a strike on your name in their list once u've voted to double confirm it.

[@shroudedrambler4809]

Unrecognised parties means parties which are out of active politics,they are only passive opinion and mobilization group .they have not contested a single election or they failed to get certain vote percentage,.Being recognised means party get exclusive rights on 'party Symbol', access to 'votere list ',special sanction on certain duration time broadcast on govt owned channel for party campaigning . Love from india ❤

[@ganesanjayaraman7850]

The Mark on index finger is to confirm the person has voted. That mark will stay for 72 hours and won’t go away. This is secondary confirmation to prevent any person voting multiple times. There are various checks and balances as soon as one enters the booth to vote. Very elaborate exercise though.

[@balarajkakumanu9882]

Nail is painted with some hard Ink at the poling booth that is the identity of vote polled, in some cases one person has multiple votes with different names and details, it is very difficult to find and remove wrong voter id, so that one person brushed with small ink in poling booth so that he/she can't vote again .

[@6pac.]

We're dedicated voters. We stand in scorching heat of India for an hour just to cast our vote. Voting starts early at 7 a.m. and if you think you can get by fast then you'll be surprised to know that you'll still have to wait an hour because you'll find lines of people no matter how early you get there.

That's a recognition sign of his/her casting vote as well as stoping of casting multiple votes once he/she was inked in his/her fingers..

[@user-og9zg9rq7x]

That is indelible ink put on finger after the individual has voted, so that he doesn’t go back and vote second time.

[@advenvtech]

Unregistered Political Party Either newly registered parties or those which have not secured enough percentage of votes in the assembly or general elections to become a state party, or those which have never contested elections since being registered are considered unrecognised parties. Such parties don’t enjoy all the benefits extended to the recognised parties.

[@nirog.charya]

that's a silver nitrate ink which is put on finger & it doesn't vanish for a week at least just to make sure that no one casts vote multiple times now that ink mark has become the symbol of voting here

[@munagalavrr]

12:30 In India - ID card system is lagging in India. Each government department issuing their own ID (ex: Income Tax, Public Distribution System, Elections, Driving License and few more). Government started to integrate/eliminate and create one ID system (AADHAR). It will be another 20 to 50 years before it's completely achieved. Just size & scale and legacy usage takes time to change. Passport might remain separate as Indian system (and few other countries) view it is not a fundamental right & can be restricted.

[@indiandefencevideo3105]

[@zuzanareacts]

[@garitube09]

That's the indelible ink to mark those who have already casted their votes. And here also schools and colleges are mostly used as polling booths where people need to present their voter identity cards to a polling officer who then verifies it with a local committee and then verified voters cast their votes using the EVM after signing against their names on the list of voters. The Bollywood movie Newton aptly depicted how voting is conducted in remote and politically volatile forest areas in India. This entire process is indeed fascinating..!

In India with uninterrupted 70+ years of democracy means simply that electoral process is ingrained in high majority of Indian citizens. Forget the noise the electoral process have been fair ever since EVMs have been introduced. Ruling parties have lost at both state and national level and smooth transition of power is a given.

Exactly same as slovak in schools mostly, instead of one ID we have 3 ways aadhar, voterslip or voter ID should match with the voter list prepared by the government, any one of 3 can be used to cast your vote and get partially permanent ink lasts for a week or two on index finger to avoid rigging. EVM is easier simple button press against your desired party symbol (ex: BJP Modis lotus symbol)and this will print a slip of vote and stored in EVM itself which can used to count no of votes manually if Election commission finds discrepancy in that booth or a single press of button will give no of votes casted in that booth without counting saves a lot of time and we have multiple parties even I can open a party and contest for elections thats why a lot of symbols and buttons.
