Do they dip their fingers in ink in order to place their choice on the ballot paper, or is it just to show that they have taken part in the election? If it's needed to imprint ther choice next to the right candidate, how is that free and fair when everyone can see who you voted for?

300k spoiled ballots reported.

In comments shared on social media later on Sunday, HE said they were waiting to see how many ballots were spoiled. “Any ballot that is destroyed [is a sign of] support for the CDL [the Candlelight party],” he said. “Those who show the ballots being destroyed can confess with the authorities […] because this movement of destroying the ballots shall face legal action,” he said.

So they are going to take legal action against 300,000 citizens?
