"
The
ink
that
is
being
used
can
be
rubbed
off
in
a
minute
. Voters
can
vote
10
times
."
"
I
believe
those
who
have
boycotted
the
elections
are
right
.
I
saw
myself
that
I
could
easily
rub
the
ink
from
our
fingers
,"
Farook Wardak,
head
of
the
Joint
Election
Management
Board
,
said
marker
pens
were
being
used
in
some
cases
instead
of
the
indelible
ink
,
while
in
other
cases,
the
correct
ink
was
being
applied
to
the
wrong
part
of
the
finger
.
"
Where
the
correct
ink
is
applied
it
stays
on

The
issue
of
the
ink
is
crucial
because
officials
had
said
before
the
vote
that
many
people
had
received
more
than
one
registration
card
for
the
election
by
mistake
.
Vote
organizers
had
argued
that
the
indelible
ink
would
prevent
people
from
voting
twice
,
even
if
they
had
more
than
one
card
.
