Dear Citizen of India,

Here is something you should be proud of.

35 states and union territories voted together across 543 constituencies where about 1055 political parties plus probably twice as more the independent candidates were battling out across 8,28,804 polling booths where about 13,68,403 EVMs were secured by 61 lakh civil personnels so that 71,40,00,000 (71 crore and 40 lakh) registered voters could come and make a choice of their candidates, it just cannot get anything bigger than this.

Every constituency was divided into an average of 1526 polling booths

Close to 11 thousand civil personnel were deployed in every constituency to take care of about 13 lakh voters in your constituency

VoteIndia.in applauds the effort of the Election Commision of India in conducting this mammoth exercise flawlessly.

We sincerely hope that you were a part of this phenomenon of “Indian Parliamentary Elections 2009”.

Jai Hind.
