The Independent National Electoral Commission come out to tell Nigerians that usage of ANY finger during elections is allowed as the ballot paper is not sensitive to fingers.
But the agency said the main issue would be when your finger crosses over to a different box which would mean you are trying to vote for more than one party, and tht cannot be condoned.
INEC said, “A voter can use any finger to vote but should ensure that his or her mark is clear and placed inside the box of the political party of his or her choice and does not stray into another box,”
This was a response to reports that only one finger could be used.
