Mysuru - The Nanjangud and Gundlupet by-elections — the results of which were announced yesterday — are the last elections in the country to use vials of indelible ink. Henceforth, trendy marker pens manufactured by Mysore Paints and Varnish Limited (MPVL), also called MyLAC, will be used to mark on the fingers, across nails, of the voters as a mark of voting.
Indelible ink is used to mark voters during polling to avoid fraudulent, multiple voting and malpractices. Once it is applied on finger, it remains for a few months.
