Dear Editor,
In relation to ‘Election Corner’ in Saturday’s edition of Stabroek News under the caption ‘The role of the Poll Clerk, Ballot Clerk and Information Clerk on Election Day,’ I am seeking clarification of the ballot clerk’s duties. In the penultimate paragraph it says these are to “ensure that the elector’s finger is stained with ink and allow him or her to cast their ballot.” This gives the impression that one’s finger is stained prior to voting, which is incorrect. You could not walk into a polling booth with such a finger.
Yours faithfully,
(Name and address provided)
