Section 49-O of the Constitution


Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969
act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm
his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election
officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious
leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a
candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received
"49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will
have to be re-polled.
Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and
they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their
decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine  candidates
for their parties for election.
This would change the way,  of our whole political system... it is seemingly
surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to
the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a  wonderful
weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power,  expressing your
desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful  than voting... so
don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...

"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people  of
India, can really use this power to save our nation"

Use your voting right for a better INDIA.
