अनास्थामत पर नोटिफिकेशन

आखिर वो हुआ जिसकी थी प्रतिक्षा -- चुनाव आयोगने २७ सितम्बर को घोषणा कर दी कि ईवीएम अर्थात वोट-गणना मशीनमें अनास्था मत दर्शानेकी व्यवस्था होगी। साथ ही फॉर्म २० में भी --ताकि परिणाम घोषित करते हुए उन मतदाताओंकीभी संख्या घोषित हो सके। अब चुनावको बिझिनेस कहनेवालोंको राजनीतिसे बाहर करनेका मौका हम सबके सम्मिलित प्रयास में है। इस चुनाी सीझन में मतदान अवश्य करें।
No.ECI/PN/41/2013 Dated: 27th September 2013
Press Note
Subject: Supreme Court’s judgment for “None of the Above” option on
EVM
Hon'ble Supreme Court, in its judgment dated 27th September 2013 in
WP (C) No. 161 of 2004, (People's Union for Civil Liberties and another Vs.
the Union of India and another) has directed the Election Commission to
make necessary provision in the ballot papers/EVMs and provide a button
for 'None of the Above' (NOTA) in EVMs so that the voters who come to the
polling booth and decide not to vote for any of the candidates in the fray, are
able to exercise their right not to vote while maintaining their right of
secrecy. In accordance with the order of the Supreme Court "None of the
Above" shall be printed in a separate panel on the ballot paper below the
name of the last contesting candidate. This ballot paper shall be affixed on
the Ballot Unit of the EVM. If the voter presses the button next to "None of
the Above" his desire not to vote for any of the candidates in the fray will get
recorded in the EVM in secrecy. Commission shall also make appropriate
changes in Part-2 of Form 17C used during counting and the result sheet in
Form 20 to separately compile the number of persons who used the option
not to vote for any of the candidates in the fray. Election Commission of
India shall issue detailed instructions to ensure compliance with the order
of the Court as expeditiously as possible.
