Each one must vote
**********Voting***********
Earlier in the Indian history it’s been the tradition that someone from emperor’s family will follow his empire .Earlier people don’t have the choice to choose there ruler. they have to make there living as the emperor want be it good or horrible
Still what I think still the same in manner of bearing the things (saying Roads are poor, hospitals not good, corruption, illiteracy, taxes are getting higher, petrol price hike, LPG hike etc) even we have the power to choose the ruling person but what I think is that what matter if I don’t vote or whoever got to be the ruling what should he do for me or my locality or workplace.
That’s the point where we are wrong every vote counts and matters and the things really took time to be in place and that sometime doesn’t show immediate effect but one will definitely got the fruit in coming future
Or at least “Vote for the Future of your children”
Each and every vote is powerful. Each Vote counts. I still remember in last elections, there was an incident in one constituency when a candidate won by just one vote. In a number of constituencies, candidates win by really small margins, like 1500 votes.
The Fact of the matter remains that if you care for your country, you have to show it by at least voting.
So let’s make your vote Count
As you have all seen on T.V promotion regarding the voting by RAJ promoting www.jagore.com is really a very good site each one of you must visit that site and register yourself for all your queries regarding the voting like
• How to register yourself
• Regarding various myths related to voting say:
1. I do not have a sufficient proof of residence to register as a voter.
2. Is voter ID card is essential for voting.
There is lot to know about your voting rights
I m Sure most of you not having an idea regarding the no vote rule:
************Surprised*********
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.
This can also be seen as a way to register a "protest vote", if an elector doesn't like any of the candidates. However, the only practical utility of exercising the right of NO VOTE is that it allows one to ensure that his / her vote is not misused by anybody else. Under no circumstances is a re-polling ordered, irrespective of how small or large the number of NO VOTES is.
One more thing to add
There is always a misconception regarding to vote for the party or to vote for the person
Here check the background of the person and party what they had done for the country people don’t vote on the basis of caste religion and region
Just vote for yourself because once you vote you have to bear all goods and wrongs
So if you vote for the right person you definitely going to get the fruit of that.
So that after you don’t blame that he is wrong and doing nothing because you are the one who made him/her to rule over you.
So ending with a note that do vote for your future or at least for the future of new generation

Hi Akash.. nice blog..but u
Hi Akash..
nice blog..but u have wrong info abt section49-O..
"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"
this is not right.. Infact Prior to 1992, India voted physically, not electronically. So every single vote was accounted for on paper, given the fact that the voter was signed into the polling station physically and a ballot paper with the selected candidate was physically accepted from him/her. Today, India votes electronically.
Now given the present scenario, a voter is physically signed into the station but votes privately, by pressing a button on the EVM (Electronic Voting Machine). What stops him from NOT pressing that button in the event that he doesn’t wish to vote for the contesting candidature. This STILL isn't where the problem lies. Now you have X number of people signed in, and X-1 votes. Nobody can trace who didn’t vote, hence that vote can be misused. It is for this reason that Rule 49-O exists. Via this rule, a voter is given an opportunity to sign a separate form (Form 17-A), and submit it to the presiding officer, thereby putting this decision on record. This clears up the haze when votes are tallied
And this is by far, the only purpose of Rule 49-o of the Conduct of Elections in India.
Update: 02:49 pm - 8th December 2008 - Information courtesy WebIndia123
The Election Commission (EC) today said even if the number of voters who refrained from voting is higher than the margin of the winning candidate, the election cannot be declared invalid.
The Commission note said under Rule 49-O, voters has an option not to vote in the election after he has been identified at the polling station and his name has been registered in Registers of Voters (Form-17A). The Presiding Officer (RO) shall there upon make a note to that effect against the name of the voter and obtain his signature or the thumb impression in case of an illiterate. In such case, the voters who exercise the option of not voting in the election under Rule 49-O would only be deemed to have abstained themselves from voting under the law, the candidate who secures highest number of valid votes polled, irrespective of his winning margin, is declared elected, the Commission note added
