    Rule 49o

    Rule 49-o of the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961 allows an elector to decide not to vote after completing the identification process at the polling station. If an elector chooses not to vote, the presiding officer must make a remark on the voter list and obtain the elector's signature or thumbprint next to the remark. This allows the elector to leave without casting a vote. The Election Commission has proposed amending the rules to provide a "none of the above" button on electronic voting machines to allow electors to secretly exercise their option to not vote for any candidate. This proposal was sent to the government on December 10, 2001.

    going through the legar formarities of his/her identification, application of indelible ink on the finger and affixing of signature in the register of voters (Form 17A)' decides not to vote, the elector has to inform the presiding officer/polling officer about the decision not to vote, and the latter wiil then record a remark to that effect against the entry relating to that elector in the register of voters and take the signature/thumb impression of the elector concerned against that remark.

    ln those cases where electors exercise the option of not voting under Rule 4g-o, they would only be deemed to have not voted for any candidate and their votes wourd be invarid under the taw' The candidate who secures the highest number of varid votes pored, irrespective of the percentage of votes polred by him/her, is decrared erected. However, the number of electors who exercise the option under Rule 49-o is refrected in the account of votes recorded (Form 17c) which is prepared by the Presiding officer for each poring station at the end of the poll.
    The procedure prescribed under Rute 49-o is such that the decision and identity of the elector not voting for any candidate is known to those present in the polring station incruding the polling agents' ln order to ensure that the identity of such erector is not reveared and is kept secret' the commission has made a proposal to the government to amend the rules so as to provide for a 'none of the above' button on the bailoting unit of the EVM after the nanFof the last candidate on the list' This will enable an elector to exercise the option of not voting for any of the candidates in secrecy, by pressing the 'none of the above, button. The commission had sent the propos al on 1,0_L2_2001,.
