The first thing that usually comes to mind when it comes to elections is the election ink mark... As per the rules of the election commission of India. But if some people do not have that finger, the election commission has suggested alternatives.

If a voter does not have the index finger of his left hand, any other finger of the same hand shall be inked. If the original left hand has no fingers, then the index finger of the right hand is applied. Even if the right-hand does not have an index finger, ink marks will be placed on one of the fingers of that hand.

If the voter does not have fingers on both hands, the election officials will put an ink mark on the last part of the voter's hand. But before this process, whether the person's name is on the voter's list or not, his identity, etc. will be checked in the polling booth.
