Guest dada_rocks Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Come, let us do a '49-O', this time... 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.
Guest dada_rocks Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 No, it;s not popular we need to popularize it.. just imaine how sweet it would be where you can make sure that a laloo doesn't get to fight in second round of election
umpire Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 So you are saying if this happens in one particular ward for an entire constituency, the candidates cannot fight elections??
Guest dada_rocks Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 So you are saying if this happens in one particular ward for an entire constituency' date=' the candidates cannot fight elections??[/quote'] It's like this if Laloo at final count is winning by 60000 votes and these voting nobody count is more than 60000 then laloo is not declared winner and cherry on the cake is none of the chumps who were on ballot including laloo get to fight in second round of election.. Is not this great
fineleg Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Good info to know. I've never heard of such a thing before. can you point to some links abt this information? Any info on Indian ministry official sites. Or press articles?
Lurker Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Excellent! Now lets thank Congress for this. :hysterical:
Cricketics Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 it's actually the Protest Vote, if i am write. which does go seperately when the counting of the votes begin. just like how electoral votes are calculated seperately, they protest vote also are calculated seperately. Unfortunately our Indian public is not aware of this and hence this doesn't get much representation. Even the media folkz never forget to forget about this.
h4te Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 sweet find, d_rocks! what happens in that case? who is 'elected'? I mean, if there is a second round with the same people, what is the guarantee that a similar 'no-vote' majority will not turn up?
Holysmoke Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 This is a hoax email doing rounds according to this website : http://voteindia.in/news.php chuhia banaya bada mazza aaya:haha:
Guest dada_rocks Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Excellent! Now lets thank Congress for this. :hysterical: Why for keeping people in dark for fifty years or so about this:--D
Guest dada_rocks Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 This is a hoax email doing rounds according to this website : http://voteindia.in/news.php Lo kar lo baat ak tinka ka sahara tha wo bhi chhin gaya:pray:

I mean, if there is a second round with the same people, what is the guarantee that a similar 'no-vote' majority will not turn up? It sounds fake but as per tha fake email.. none of those rejected get to fight in repeat election.. I do think this change should be brought in our constitution ..
THX_1138 Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Novel concept, but it has considerable pitfalls: the expenses of a second poll, and the consequent leadership void when a certain candidate is removed. if indeed we are dissatisfied with a particular candidate, the best way to oppose him or her is to bring forth a rival against the undesirable candidate! why not do that instead? the time, effort and resources expended in campaigning for the disavowing of a particular candidate, would be better spent in campaigning for an alternate candidate. Furthermore, it is unlikely that everyone or even a simple majority of individuals would be dissatisfied with the entire ballot. if anything, incompetent and criminal leaders have been reelected with resounding margins: case in point - narendra modi.

Incompetent : Seriously you need to get yoour head examined.. Report after report from his adversary puts him at the best adminsitrator.. Industrailaist after industralist with no axe to grind have simialr tributes for him.. Crimnal: Last tiem I checkned one need a case againt oneself in any court to be adjudged even suspect let alone criminal

Crimnal: Last tiem I checkned one need a case againt oneself in any court to be adjudged even suspect let alone criminal was he not in charge when the 2002 riots occured? was he not in charge when the law enforcement failed abysmally in reigning in the violence? and was he not in charge when the same law enforcement attempted to brush the matter aside? and the compliments he has received from industralists are actually counter examples: industries prosper when regulations and restrictions are collapsed or removed. thus, these industrialists are appreciating modi for his decreasing involvement in state issues, not for his visionary leadership. in effect, he is being appreciated for using his office with less enthusiasm.
THX_1138 Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 Got acquited by the Supreme court and elected in some muslim majority constituency. acquitted to perpetrating the violence by direction action... was he acquitted of failure by inaction?
Guest dada_rocks Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 was he not in charge when the 2002 riots occured? was he not in charge when the law enforcement failed abysmally in reigning in the violence? and was he not in charge when the same law enforcement attempted to brush the matter aside? and the compliments he has received from industralists are actually counter examples: industries prosper when regulations and restrictions are collapsed or removed. thus, these industrialists are appreciating modi for his decreasing involvement in state issues, not for his visionary leadership. in effect, he is being appreciated for using his office with less enthusiasm. IF we are going by the moron idea of who was in charge when any riot happeens then we had 66000 riots nearly and as many culprits. judgement given by judge jury fortunatley not theexecutioner the great THX.. I am just using your rule to come to the following conclusion. Nehru : criminal Shastri: criminal Moraraji: criminal Charan Singh: messiha Indira Gandhi: criminal Rajeev gandhi: of course criminal V P singh: criminal Vajpayee; criminal.. Hope you see the stupidity of your illogical ways
