VETO POWER.....

Currently election time is going on in some states of India. So I thought why not write something about elections. About participation of the unwanted people and deliberate nonparticipation of good people who can make the difference.In almost every elections we see that a good contestant loose by a very close margin.We can change this scenario. I personally have never voted in my life. I became eligible almost 7 years back. I am sure there are many more like me who are eligible, but haven’t voted or don’t want to vote. But few days back I came to know sensational news, which I am going to share with you all now.
Do you know that there is a provision in our constitution, as per the1969 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, and the presiding election officer is supposed to keep track of the number of people who refused to vote. After the polling is over he is supposed to submit this number to higher authorities involved in counting of votes. But obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called 49-O...
Now the Question you’ll ask is why should you go and say " I vote nobody"... Because, if a candidate wins, say by x votes, and that particular constituency has received 49-O votes more than x, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled.It doesn’t stop at that, the candidature of the contestant will be removed and he cannot contest the re-polling, sincepeople had already expressed their decision on him.
This would bring fear into parties and hence they will look for genuine candidates to represent their parties for election. This would change the way, of our political system... if not entirely then atleast a start can be made. It is seemingly surprising why, election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public.... This thing also needs to be investigated.

This seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in our country.Expressing your desire not to vote anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don’t miss your chance.. to either vote, or vote not to vote

got link from o3.indiatimes.com/chauvinist or whatever i basicly lost the link :/,
 
Yes that is true. There were cases in the recently held elections where the polling officer didnt know abt the clause and simply refused to allow people to "not vote". And there have been some cases where the officer has persuaded people to vote, as otherwise they might face harrasment from the party people/local goons (both are the same so choose ur preference).

There was a thread regarding urban legends add this to that list.

It doesn't happen this way. It has no bearing on the results of the election. It is exactly the same as if the elector had not exercised his vote.

Move over to this link for more info.

Whose candidature would be cancelled? The person who won or all of them who were there. The person who won is atleast better than the rest(I mean vote wise).
 
what if there are more vetoes than regular votes :P ?? That would be AWESOME!! :D :ohyeah: .... that is my dream
 
It doesn’t stop at that, the candidature of the contestant will be removed and he cannot contest the re-polling

Nice idea, so we all spend crores of rupees in re-polling.
 
If the number of "I dont vote for anyone" is higher than the number of votes polled by the winning candidate then the election is held again. For example, in a constituency with 10000 votes

Person A = 2000
Person B = 1500
No Vote = 2500
and say 10 other candidates polling some votes each

Then all the candidates who stood are disqualified and re-elections held as the "No Vote" is higher than even the candidate who polled the maximum votes.

Also all the contestants are disqualified from standing in the elections again as the public have already expressed their wish to not have any of them as their leader.

Election & Voting - Important

Did you guys 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 xxx votes, and that particular ward has received
49-O votes more than xxx, 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 he cannot contest the re-polling, since
people had already expressed their decision on him.

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, election commission has not revealed
such a feature to the public....

please spread this news ..

Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India...
show your power, expressing your desire not to vote anybody, is even more
powerful than voting... so dont miss your chance.. so either vote, or
vote not to vote (vote 49-O)
