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 her / his identity, get her/his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that she/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

Hey that was a nice piece of info, all these yrs i never exercised my franchise coz i feel all of them are same, but frm now on I will surely exercise this option.
Nice way to teach these idiots a lesson.
Yeah!...education and awareness can eradicate corruption...
Good Gaurav keep us updating with these facts Guru bhai
good job yaar.i wonder how you found that out....
I was aware about it.. but was not awake to it..
please read the note its Neha, a friend of mine... who actully helped me out!
hi gaurav,
really nice blog.
i am bit sceptical regarding usage of 49-0. in current election scenario we see large number of small and big parties competiting for election seat. so even if we are having say 60-70% of voting ratio, the margin for winning of a candidate narrows down to few votes. (probably this is reason we are seeing large number of coaltion government these days..its due to inability of people to come up with any clear party). so even if insignificant number of people uses this provision we cannot form government which would have been formed had these people refrained form voting..
another issue here is that this provision requires candidate to tell election officer about his interest of not to vote....doen't it violate requirement of secrecy of ballot during election??
i am not opposing this provision. the advantages of this provision are more than its disadvantages. i am just raising some issues before using "49-0".
thanks for this wonderful post
If it could be fine tuned t cater the current situation ... it would make that much more sense
