#Election2024 Electoral ink is a semi-permanent ink or dye that is applied to the forefinger (usually) of voters during elections in order to prevent electoral fraud such as double voting. It is an effective method for countries where identification documents for citizens are not always standardised or institutionalised. It was first used during the 1962 Indian general election in India. The ink was developed by Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-National Physical Laboratory (CSIR-NPL), a Research Institute of CSIR, Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. Electoral stain typically contains a pigment for instant recognition, a silver nitrate which stains the skin on exposure to ultraviolet light, leaving a mark that is impossible to wash off and is only removed as external skin cells are replaced. Industry-standard electoral inks contain 10%, 14%, or 18% silver nitrate solution, depending on when the mark must be visible. Although usually water-based, electoral stains occasionally contain a solvent such as alcohol to allow for faster drying, primarily when used with dipping bottles, which may include a biocide to ensure bacteria are not transferred from voter to voter. Hydroxides can easily remove silver chloride. Hence, other photosensitive pigmentation needs to be added.

Growing up, I have seen walls being painted as a part of the election campaign, however that has declined over time! While I was out for a short round in my locality, it was impossible for me to not notice the extreme amount of political posters that have popped up everywhere in the last couple of days - posters of different types, some are paper ones which are stuck with glue, others being the flexes! Once the elections are done and dusted, these will make its way to the dumping ground. Think about the tonnes and tonnes of waste that is generated every election season. We must keep in mind that most of these posters are made out of non-biodegradable materials. 😓 Is it possible to figure out an alternative solution or how one can reuse these at scale? ✋ #recyclereuse #generalelections

Every election year we are told, "This is the most important election in our lifetime!" But to be honest, every election is important and deserving of our full attention. This year, in addition to the presidency, all 435 U.S. House members, 33 U.S. Senate seats, 11 governorships and 85 legislative chambers in 44 states as well as thousands of local offices are on the ballot. This can be leveraged to the advantage of the #waste and #recycling industry in several ways, first and foremost in the amount of time that elected officials will be out of session and on the campaign trail.
