Know Your Voting Rights - 49-O

I think after the mumbai terror attacks, the whole India is so sad, emotional and angry on these idiot politicians and government. Everyone wants to do something about this and want to make the difference. I have noticed young blood of India really want to make a change the way our country works. There was a very nice comment made in one of the article by Robin and I thought it deserves a seperate article.

I personally didn't know about the voting rights of India. So here how it goes. This is for all of those people who want to make a difference. If realization has dawned after 26/11 and you think the government is bad and you want to do something? Then not voting is not the way out, remember if you don't vote, your opinion will not matter. If you don't like the candidates, this is what you can do and stop them from being elected and keep them out of politics as well!  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 canceled 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 on...  
 
Use your vote and do the right thing for you!

    This info about 49 O is partially true. No re polls.
    But if the awareness increases, we can register our dissidence strongly...! Think about it. Disseminate.

    I think this particular law should necessarily be added to our school/ college syllabus while studying political science. Though I graduated in the subject I was never aware that such a rule was prevailing in our constitution. I strongly suggest that our youth and people in common come-forth to realise their power of election and utilise this 49-O rule in coming elections. SAVE THIS NATION FROM EVER GROWING GREED OF POLITICIANS...

    :? just by saying that i don't want to vote...i think it won't help . there should be a separate button & total no. must be get counted & declare.
    "I MUST ALLOW DOG TO VISIT MY HOME BUT NOT THESE POLITIAN & ALSO CURRUPT OFFICER"
    I STRONGLY FEEL THOSE PEPOLE WHO TRIED TO SPRED TERROR IN INDIA SHOULD GET BACK UP FROM OUR INTERNAL SYSTEM"
    JAI HIND, BE UNITED & FIGHT AGINST THEM

    Thanks Raman & Shasta for bringing the facts in front. I guess this was one of those fake email that someone might have pasted here.
    I was reading about this one some other news paper as well and seems like there are rumors spreading around about voting 49-O.

    the law is there: http://lawmin.nic.in/ld/subord/cer1.htm

    but there is nothing to suggest a repoll.. only that the NO-VOTES will not be counted. (obviously!) so you can not force a repoll...
