KABUL) announced on Monday.
IEC officials, who held a meeting in Kabul, assured the stains to be applied on voters’ forefingers would not be possible to wash off in a week’s time.
IEC Secretary Ziaulhaq Amarkhail said one of the inks could be clearly seen with eyes, but the second could be seen only when a special sensitive torch shed light on it.
He added each voter would be examined carefully by IEC officials to avoid merry-go-round voting.
The IEC was widely criticised in the 2004 elections when many claimed they had been able to easily wash off the ink.
