"49-O"
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 to the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote for 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.... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... Expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting.
Use your voting right for a better INDIA.

The outcome would be great if followed, thereby even preventing misuse of votes.
Good Work on ur B'day!
Have you read the 49-O part of the Constitution? Read it carefully and then post. There might be something hidden in it.

"A hoax has been circulating which claims that if the '49-O' votes more than those of the winning candidate, then that poll will be canceled and will have to be re-polled. Furthermore, it claims that the contestants will be banned and they cannot contest the re-polling. This is false and has no basis whatsoever."
