Indian Voters Veto Power ... so don't miss your voting next time

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!!!!!
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.

If at all the claims are faq's, this is only a wierd concept.
We need a good leaders.
If you choose not to vote, whom you choose next time.
If you don't like someone just don't vote for him.
Also voting down is discouraged so that people take the risk of standing up as candidates.
Don't loose hope and don't discourage. Have patience. Indian system, though patchy at times, is one of the best.
