Various reports emerged on election day of how some voters were rubbing off the indelible ink and heading to other voting stations to cast their ballots.
Earlier in the day, the IEC had also received a number of complaints regarding voters who were turned back from voting stations because they had manicures done or had nail polish. "There was some official who said to my wife that she must take out her nail so that they can put a mark [on her thumb]. And I found that bizarre because where is that written in the rules that women who have long nails can't vote?" Malema said.
