Invalidating all ballots with print ink will be an issue: Suood
Former Supreme Court Justice Husnu Al Suood warned that invalidating all ballot papers with printing ink dots could cause major issues. The case concerns the Meemu Veyvah Council election where MDP candidate Ahusham defeated PNC's Mohamed Nazeeh by two votes. Nazeeh challenged three ballot papers initially invalidated but later deemed valid by the Elections Commission after reopening a ballot box. The High Court ruled the marks made the papers identifiable, violating vote secrecy, thus invalid. Suood commented on a potential Supreme Court ruling.
