The constitution, as per the 1969 act, section"49-O", says
“ 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!This is called "49-O".
”
What happens if I say “No Vote”:
If the no. of ‘No VOTEs’ is larger than the number of votes by which a candidate has won, then
1. The polling shall be cancelled
2. There shall be a re-polling
3. The candidature of all the contestant shall be cancelled.
