Special security paper from UK for polls by ANTON NONIS Eighty tonnes of special quality paper with high security water-marks have been shipped to Colombo from the United Kingdom at a cost of Rs. 30 million, to print ballot and other election-related papers. Government Printer, Neville Nanayakkara told the `Sunday Observer' that cutting and printing ballot papers will commence (shortly) after nominations end on Tuesday. The production process of the ballot papers and other documents such as badges for election officials including senior presiding officers and junior presiding officers and posters to be affixed at the election booths will cost another Rs. 20 million, Nanayakkara said. The paper is of a special type and carries a water-mark of the General Election in all three languages. A multi-coloured florescent fibre has also been incorporated into the paper as a security measure. |
