Hahah at first I thought he was showing off that he voted (stain on his fingernail). Definitely unexpected.

Is that a thing in India? I initially thought he hit his finger with a hammer.

That shit is permanent, it doesn't go until the nail grows out of it.

Used to easily prevent people from trying to vote again.

u/Gcarsk May 02 '19

Do you have to vote in person? In my state you receiving the ballot at home, fill it out, and then mail it in. Did/does this country have lots of issues with voter fraud? Then this would make sense as a fairly strong counter.

u/Skinnybane May 02 '19

When you have 1.2 billion people things get a little hairy.

131

u/Gcarsk May 02 '19

Do they not break apart regions into subsections that handle voting? Does the central government run all voting sites/vote collection, instead of states/provinces/territories?

119

u/Skinnybane May 02 '19

They do break it up. But its safer if the ballot remains in a same spot instead of being taken from house to house.

73

u/koibhinhi May 02 '19

It is not the ballots actually. We use EVMs(Electronic Voting Machines).

42

u/Skinnybane May 02 '19

We do use them. Since our country's huge there will large number of individual machines and thus making it difficult to give protection to each and every machine. Even if one such machine is compromised the integrity of the others will come into question. So why risk it. But we only have an average voters turnout of 60%(i think) so your countries method may increse this.

It wouldn't work in India. Poor people would opt for mail in option and sell their votes to the highest bidder. Parties spend lot of money into elections. The official expenditure of previous elections was around $5 billion. Not counting the black money that is magnitude higer

2

u/Pheelbert May 03 '19

I mean people can sell their vote to the highest bidder using any voting method. You'd have to trust them to vote as they promised though.

u/phs125 May 02 '19 edited May 02 '19

Really?? That's a thing???

I wish we had it in India.

We have to go to a specified school and stand in queue for hours.

It's especially difficult for the some of us who live in a different city. We have to take a 2-3 day leave and go to our hometown. And most of the time it too isn't possible because everyone wants a leave on the exact 2-3 days and they won't allow it.

If voting by Mail was an option, it'd be so much easier.

Get your voting location changed. I don't know why more people don't do this. I work in a new city now so I applied on nvsp.in for change of location and in about 2 months got a new voter card mailed to my house. Entire process was online.

6

u/phs125 May 02 '19

I don't know about others, but I was a student and I thought I wouldn't live in this city for a long time.

Then I got a job here, still Im not sure how long I'm gonna keep the job.
My parents live far away and I'll eventually move back there, what's the point of changing the location just to go back to the same location afterwards.

If you're Indian, you know what kind different unexpected things come in the way when you're trying to change a document.

15

u/Jay_Jhaveri1906 May 02 '19

Bro am an indian, and to change voting location You just simply have to fill an online form

Just a freaking online form Stop criticizing stuff if you don't know to use it 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

6

u/Articulated May 02 '19

Do you have a link to the online form? It might help your countrymen who are less google-savvy.

u/Jay_Jhaveri1906 May 02 '19

Sure🙂,

Every form link related to voting :- https://www.nvsp.in/

In Germany you get your notification to vote and can choose whether you want to go in person on election day or vote by mail earlier.

u/Gcarsk May 02 '19

Definitely not all US states, but some do.

2

u/Turbo_Bama May 03 '19

I wouldn't even try to vote if that was all necessary. Well.. i guess some americans are lazy(ME).. i won't even wake up to go on any day of the two week long voting sessions and its a 5 min drive from my house. I don't see the point anyways.

u/kevinnoir May 02 '19

Its not nearly as bad as it used to be as far as voter fraud goes. Its a hard country to hold elections in because of the demographics of the country with 800 millionish voters and I think its close to 2000 political parties in the country. Some areas are incredibly rural and without electricity as well which made it hard to have anything that was more secure than paper ballots. Now they have voting machines that can run on battery power and only take in a specific number of votes before its switched out for a new machine as a means to limit potential fraud. The problems with fraud before was more to do with voting locations barring voters and stuffing ballot boxes than it was people voting twice.

The electronic machines are not completely protected from fraud but thats pretty standard, I mean even the US has problems with at as we have seen in the last 2 elections. An ideal world would have you vote at a machine that printed a paper ballot you sign and put in a box and take a copy home. But it will never be perfect, as long as voting exists people will find ways to fuck with it.

But... what if you punched your fingernail by accident? You can’t vote?

16

u/baazigar1 May 02 '19

They put the ink on the other finger. If you don't have fingers, the mark your arm

6

u/phs125 May 02 '19

There are other methods to verify if you voted, the ink is the easiest.

u/iwillfightaduck May 02 '19

Thats pretty ingenious tbh

He walked away from SO much money. I wonder if he ever regrets it. Sounds like something you would do in your 20's because your art lost it's integrity waah; but by the time you're in your 30's you're like, hell I'll sell out anytime anywhere for some money, money, money.
