What about finger paint, like most other countries use?

You just simply get an unwashable ink on your thumb. It does a few things. It shows you voted already. Also, puts a little bit of social pressure on people you see who don't have the mark.

Never heard of that... fascinating! I don't think it's used in Croatia, Bosnia, US or Canada. Can you provide examples?

Thx!:)

I'm not sure how unique it is to Iraq, but there were tons of photos of it on American news after that country was 'liberated'

This approach has been used in Tunisia since the 2011 revolution, and is still in use.
