Some recent articles and a Dedicated Website on Section 49-0 Falsely suggest that in case the number of votes recorded under Section 49-O is greater than the maximum number of votes polled in favour of any of the candidates, a repoll is held. However it is misleading since nothing to this effect is mentiond either in any of the sections of The Conduct of Elections Rules, 1961 or People's Representative Act nor can it can be constured reading Section 49-0 in conjuction with any other Section/ Act. In fact Post terrorist Attacks on Mumbai on 26th November 2008 an Urban Myth is being propogated through Internet that a Re-Poll will be held in case the number of No Votes under Section 49-O is more than the Margin of Victory.
