Internet Voting leads to free rigging and security of the individual is in trouble. Govt can't provide security to every body. Hence Internet Voting is not feasible.

Yes that is a good Idea. If you can have your Banking Transactions through Mobile, why can't we have our Votes through Internet/Mobiles

trust me, a determined hacker who wants to get into your accounts can surely have access to your rights, without your or the bank's knowledge. Organizations or groups which do these things are not interested in your personal money. They are into something big. Also do you know in many banks in countries like US, mobile banking is not enabled?

really, turnout in lakshwadeep and kerala saved us, why? the day the law says "compulsary voting" we are dead in the hands of politicians coz atleast now we find some good candidates to vote for, had this law becomes a reality i bet no party wld have even 1 good candidate, we wld invariably be voting for a goonda, rowdy, murderer, extortionist, rapist and evry kind of anti-social element wld be on the evm, instead we shld focus on saying that we dont like any of the candidates fielded in elections bcoz of their criminal background, i.e a mechanism where "a right not to vote" shld be the weapon in this country rather than "right to vote" which is not helping us in any way. What say guys.

there is a rule already where u can vote in favour of nobody.i.e. u can say that no one is eligible for ur vote. then the relection will be conducted in that constituency and who were all in the list before will be disqualified from contesting.
Literacy rate and population of Kerala/Lakshwadeep is different from other states of india. One cannot make those states to be base lined for other states.
Till we have literacy rate as good as Kerala in all the states of India, we should have a legislation to force citizens to vote compulsorily. Instead of cutting power or water, try to give some incentives such as tax rebates on property etc,.
I think, SC has overlooked the necessity of Compulsory voting that too after first phase is finished. What benefit democracy brings wherein members get elected without most of the peoples participation. This judgement will encourage the system exploitors to push citizens backward through all means so that they don't vote.........
It has been 1 and half years that i have applied for voter id in MP, didnt get it yet....what reply does the election commision and SC has for debarring me from the right to Vote.
I hope my not voting this year may lead to to communal forces coming in power.

Re: No Voter ID Card

This is true. I saw several citizens complaining about this. Either their name is taken out of voters list or they are not provided with voter id card.
We should have legislation to make EC accountable to citizens directly. Inspite of EC being an independent body, if they can't provide voter id card for every citizen or deliberately remove citizen names from voters list, they should be punished. It's really shame for democracy to have this happen in 21st century too........
Is it a healthy trend in a so-called biggest democratic Nation to have a voter turn out of 37% or 40%.Then why should we waste our money in declaring poll days as leave with pay, thousands of crores of public money is spent for the Poll festival.That "Chaltha Hai" attitude of the revered Instituitions on this Holy Right of the people, is indicative of a decay and disintegration of Once secular and mighty Organs of Indian Democracy.To be a proud citizen of this republic, you have an obligation to the Nation too.Fullfill that obligation responsibly.
Then one day you will be tempted to make so many things compulsory. Really as a citizen of India I also have a right to not vote. I will choose when I exercise my Franchise and when not and when I dont the only right I may not have is to complain about corrupt leaders.

In Swat valley nothing is compulsory My dear, because 'Jungle Raj" is prevalent.Here we have a Democratic Secular setup.For example for certain matters, PAN is mandatory. Can you say why do they make it compulsory.Why money power in North(BSP SP RJD ) and Muscle power in South(CPI CPIM AIDMK.VAIKO) still call the shots in Election precess, because there is mojority of Silent citizens stand in the way side as on-lookers.They do not participate in the nation building process.You ask for the right to call back the MP/MLA if he/she found to be corrupt.Just condemning a system in toto is bad, we can have a viable acceptable accessible system by improvising the exisitng system.

No in Swat valley Burkha is compulsory for women. Non Muslim citizens have to carry identities etc and so and so forth. When you start making things mandatory you are essentially Talibanising the society. Making voting compulsory will ensure that politicians field goondas and we in turn would have to end up voting the most preferable goondas among them. Next what will you make mandatory. Eating food?Voting is my right which I may or may not choose to exercise.By making it Mandatory how do you achieve democracy, it becomes a autocracy then not a democracy. If for eg people have tried to exercise their votes from a particular area and if say the politicians dont care because everytime they dont have to stand up for election. They can make a mockery of this compulsory voting by fielding their proxies. Where will you end up. By making voting not compulsory, atleast the people of that area can boycott the elections as a protest and force the local politicians to address their needs. If all political parties are bad then why waste my precious vote for these criminals?
a lot of people who want to vote neither get voter id cards, or find their names in the voters list. first this menace needs to be addressed. lets say there are 10 criminals contesting from a place. compulsory voting means, you got no choice, but to vote for 1 criminal. people always talk about some people not voting, but it should be other way around. even if one criminal is contesting from any place, no body should vote in that place.
