Tagged with:   No Nickels Awarded

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 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....
