dear all.....
do u know that our constitution provides a power to citizen as power of not to vote......
Election Rules, 1961, Rule.49-O provides the said right.........
". Section 49-O of The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 states “If an elector, after his electoral roll number has been duly entered in the register of voters in Form 17A and has put his signature or thumb impression thereon as required under sub-rule (1) of rule 49L, decided not to record his vote, a remark to this effect shall be made against the said entry in Form 17A by the presiding officer and the signature or thumb impression of the elector shall be obtained against such remark."
and if the number of voters deciding not to vote under Section 49-O as quoted here above, exceeds the maximum number of votes polled by any candidate or exceeds 50% of the valid votes cast in any constituency in any election (say Local Body Ward, Assembly or Lok Sabha Constituency), is there a provision for conducting the election again.......
so jago india jago.......
this message is not to encourage people not to go for vote.....but to let them know of their right that even if u choose not to vote,,,,atleast go and cast to "no-vote".....so that the member could not get the benefit of ur no casting of vote........
what says?/??
