the legal experts can tell better but as far as I know, this section regarding
the polling has no legal binding.

Section 49-O of the Constitution
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....
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 vote right for a better INDIA.
