I got a forwarded mail with this message. I will once again confirm the authenticity of this information, if found wrong/some missing information , it will changed appropriately.
I did not know about this right of mine. Thats why I didnt vote for these many years.
There is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the pollingbooth, 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 xxx votes, and that particular ward has received 49-Ovotes more than xxx, then that polling will be cancelled and will haveto be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and he cannot contest the re-polling,since people had already expressed their decision on him. This wouldbring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates fortheir parties for election. This would change the way, of our wholepolitical system... it is seemingly surprising why, and electioncommission 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 anybody, is even more powerful thanvoting... so don?t miss your chance.So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...
