KUALA LUMPUR: Ballot papers to be used for the MIC polls tomorrow will have security markings to prevent fraud, election committee chairman Datuk K. Vijayanathan said.
“I will explain the markings to the delegates before the start of voting,” he told The Star.
The markings will ensure no duplication of the ballot papers.
Vijayanathan said everything was in place to ensure a fair, transparent and smooth election.
“I don’t think any of the 71 candidates contesting for the various posts should be unduly worried. Everything will be transparent,” he said.
Vijayanathan added that delegates would be barred from taking their handphones along when they went to cast their votes.
“This is to ensure that no one tries to photograph their ballot papers,” he said.
Incumbent Datuk G. Palanivel is facing a three-way fight for the deputy presidency against former deputy president Datuk S. Subramaniam and vice-president Datuk S. Sothinathan.
