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

THE CONDUCT OF ELECTIONS RULES, 1961

Rule 49O: Elector deciding not to vote.-If an elector, after his electoral roll number has been duly entered in the register of voters in Form-17A and has put his signature or thumb impression thereon as required under sub-rule (1) of rule 49L, decided not to record his vote, a remark to this effect shall be made against the said entry in Form 17A by the presiding officer and the signature or thumb impression of the elector shall be obtained against such remark.
 

and the Rule 49L referred above is :

49L: Procedure for voting by voting machines.-(1) Before permitting an elector to vote, the polling officer shall—

(a) record the electoral roll number of the elector as entered in the marked copy of the electoral roll in a register of voters in Form 17A.
(b) obtain the signature or the thumb impression of the elector on the said register of votes; and
(c) mark the name of the elector in the marked copy of the electoral roll to indicate that he has been allowed to vote.

Provided that no elector shall be allowed to vote unless he has his signature or thumb impression on the register of voters.

(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (2) of rule 2, it shall be necessary for any presiding officer or polling officer or any other officer to attest the thumb impression of the elector on the register of voters.

Thanks for information.

I agree with Mr. Prakash.

Thanks Mr DM for the information.  There are polling ration in all over India is arround 45-55 % in all election. Means rest of the Voters have reject the candidate. A person having mendate of 25-30% is elected as a MLA/MP. Just think that 75 - 70% voters have been rejected his candidatureship. Its very useful to convey your rejection.
