Hello! Yesterday's polling was an novel experience, atleast for me. I was in front of the EVM and After going through the list of candidates i just did not feel like casting my vote for any of them. so I asked the officer on duty what is the option. He very politely guided me to a register where i acknowledged that i have come to vote but do not wish to cast my vote. and thats it.
This in effect means that we can actually vote for " none ". regards arvind On 10/14/09, Sameer <sala...@gawab.com> wrote: > > No problems in Mulund (Mumbai).
