Ink Issue Raises Concerns Ahead of Local Body Elections in Kasaragod
KASARAGOD, Dec. 8, 2025 – Voters in Kasaragod, Kerala are expressing concern that indelible ink from a recent cooperative society election may cause confusion at the polls during upcoming local body elections.
The issue stems from the Campco Co-operative Society election held on November 23rd. Many of the 451 Kerala-based members who cast ballots in that election report that the indelible ink used to mark their fingers has not faded, even after multiple attempts to remove it.
With local body elections looming, voters fear that polling officials may mistakenly believe they have already voted, creating potential problems. Campco, recognizing the potential issue, has provided a list of members who voted in the co-operative election to the district election wing.
“We understand the concerns of our members,” said a Campco representative. “We have taken steps to provide election officials with the necessary information to avoid any confusion.”
Kasaragod District Collector K. Inbasekar has acknowledged the issue and assured residents that the matter will be examined. “We are aware of the situation and will make the necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth and fair election process for all voters,” said Inbasekar. Authorities are expected to announce specific measures to address the problem in the coming days.
The local body elections are scheduled to take place later this month.
