Everyone knows we have bad politicians. Gone are the days when people in power used to look at Nehru and Gandhi as idols, today, they look the size of each other's bank balances.
Effects
Tired of the politicians hafta, dhanda and peti? When you decide to vote and elect a candidate, you decide to elect the politician of your choice.
Solutions

Poor voter turnout from Middle India calls attention to innovative voting processes
The recent poor voting turnout (approx. 40%) in Mumbai is the cause for much discussion. It was found that middle India, comprising of urban youth and professionals were the ones who skipped voting. The poor voting results were attributed to the declaration of a holiday which gave a 4 day vacation to Mumbaikars whereas others said it was the natural apathy to politics and politicians that led to the poor voter turnout. Mumbai among other urban cities are blamed for the ‘chalta hain’ attitude or indifference and apathy.

mere khayal mein voting machiens mein ek "NON-VOTING" Ki bhi option honi chahiye......
So come to the point, hamari ye muhim hai ke vote karo aur agar hum vote nahi kar rahe hain to hum so rahe hain bilkul sahi baat hai, lekin kya koi bta sakta hai ke jitne bhi candidates hote election mein, agar hamein unmein se koi bhi pasand na ho to hum kya karen........ hav anybody answer ? nahi koi jawab nahi hoga shayd kisi ke pass... par mere pass ek idea hai hai agar aap sab logon ko pasand aaye, there will be a option for "NON-VOTING".
Vote by force?
I hv never voted neither in state assemble nor during center election althgh im 25,simply coz im nt happy with candidates in my constitute year after year,they just make false promise fool and play wid peoples emotions,and after wining never show their face again. Im jst totaly fed up wid ths whole corrupt system,no wonder year after year the voter turnout declines(especialy in urban areas).
