Section 52
Ballot not to be marked by voter for identification(1) Where a voter makes any writing or mark on a ballot paper by which he or she may be identified, such ballot paper shall be rejected provided that any print resulting from the staining of the thumb of the voter in the voting compartment shall not be or be deemed to be a mark of identification under this section.
(2) The Commission shall use indelible ink for any thumb mark by voters on ballot papers.
Voting by secret balloting means that a voter cannot be identified by the vote they have cast. Where a voter makes any writing or mark on a ballot paper by which he may be identified, such ballot will be rejected.
