Why the unfading “purple finger” become the democratic symbol?

Secure and stable election ink-1

In India, every time a general election comes, voters will get a unique symbol after voting - a purple mark on their left index finger. This mark not only symbolizes that the voters have fulfilled their voting responsibilities, but also reflects India's persistent pursuit of fair elections.

Election ink has been used in India for 70 years

This indelible ink, known as "election ink", has been a part of Indian elections since 1951 and has witnessed countless historic voting moments in the country. Although this voting method seems simple, it is very effective in preventing cheating and has been used for 70 years.

The formula for election ink is complex

The formula of this ink is extremely complex. It needs to ensure that the color of the election ink stays on voters' nails for at least 3 days, or even 30 days. It is a trade secret strictly guarded by every ink manufacturer.
