Well today happened to be the D- day for elections for which preparation have been going on long since , but how well .. no clues and answer ….
My family and I today witnessed the lack of proper system implementation today .
When we shifted to noida the first thing we did was give an application to renew our voter ids and that to twice, this happened in the year 2008 November.
This year again when the procedure began , again we resubmitted the documents, but still failed to get the voter ids.
Anyways we were still determined to cast the vote and after having read in the newspaper that even though we have photo id proofs we can go to the respective constituency with the head of the family show the proof and cast the vote.
So we all geared up to cast the vote we picked up our old voter ids , the photo id proofs and the receipt of the form that we have resubmitted the application for ids.
Deep down we knew that its will be going through a tiring procedure to explain and get the things done but never what actually we witnessed .
As the Indian government system is know to pass on the job from one to another , the same happened with us , we were not allowed to cast our vote just on the ground our name is not on the list ………..this is the case when we want to vote and cant vote because of management system is not well upto the requisite procedural requirement. A long discussions followed and the reply was that the few person sitting there to guide us were not even to going to vote because of the same problem.
We were about to return defeated when another case caught our sight, an elderly couple with there voter ids waiting for there turn were indescribably refused their right because their name was not on the list.
Why the system functions like this??? why is there always a cribbing question that people do not go to vote ?? is this how the system functions , there are plenty who want to vote , but due to lack of proper management system many are deprived from their right .
How can we exercise our right .. how much patience do we have to display ?? the question lie unanswered .
Its very strange how the idea of voting is perceived , the common notion being “ sab party waale apna vote khud hi dalwa lenge , hum jakar bhi kya kar lenge “ but is this the right approach ??? even the maid of our house turned a blind eye to the election procedure because she said “ jisse vote chahiye who apne aap le jaate hain , ghoonghat mein se kisse pata chalega kaun vote kark aaya “
the functioning government has to be made aware of all the happenings , they cannot just turn a blind eye to this ,as a responsible citizen we can do all what is required from us , but that will be successful only when we get the response.
“talli ek haath se nahin bajati”
We know what a power of vote can do , we want to cast the vote , but are meekly turned away ……….what should be done , ……………just this for the time being wait for another round of elections when again we have to get our voter ids and till that time …….many questions will be left unanswered ………………..

Its the intention that matters. You at least chose and tried to do your bit. Its unfortunate for the relevant party that they didn't get your vote.
I can understand your frustration on the refusal but just give a moment to the EC which has to make arrangements for a over a BILLION people for the world's largest democracy. Some slip-ups on this scale should be pardoned.
Regardless, WELL DONE ON THE EFFORTS..!!
