After voting, each voter had to dip his or her finger into a container of purple ink, which in theory was supposed to make it impossible for people to vote in more than one place.

First of all, however, you have to open the ink bottle. In practise, most voters simply wiped the ink off their finger with a tissue, or on the bark of a tree, as soon as they left the polling station.
