49-O  - In Constitution of India:

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 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...

Use your voting right for a better INDIA
