Important Voting Info - Section "49-O"

Have you found yourself in the polling booth dutifuly ready to vote
but unaware or unsure of the candidate you are voting for?
Have you voted just for the sake of it, because you felt there is no other option...
There is....
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...
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...
"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of
India , can really use this power to save our nation". Use your voting right
for a better INDIA.
Jai Hind!
