49-O

[Contributed by Rahaj Ganguly]
 
 
We all have felt sometimes that we do not actually want to vote for any one
of the candidates many times! this one is a great option !

It is the most powerful weapon we have as 
citizens to oust corrupt politicians. ..                                  
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.
