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.

We have come across some cases where the marked location of a user is inaccurate, and sometimes totally off the mark. This happens if while registering, you place a marker without adequately zooming in, which may set it off by quite a few kilometres.

So here’s a new feature called Modify your Location, which lets you view your marked location and also change it on the map. Just enter your email address to receive a verification code. You can also click on the automated link, which takes you directly to the map.

If you have registered on the site, please check to see that your location is correct, otherwise it may lead to inaccurate information being provided to you. To achieve the best result, we recommend that you zoom in to the maximum possible extent while placing your marker.

Hi people,

The VoteIndia team has taken some major strides in terms of reaching out to people. To inspire them about our ideology and the quest for good governance.

We have put up our videos (English and Hindi versions) on Youtube and we have had more than 350 views so far.  We have sent our emailers to all our registered users and we know they will forward the same to their friends. The more people get involved the better it is for each one of us.

We have worked out a new and user friendly design for the website. The new look should be up soon.

We have had 100 new registrations in the last month and its damn encouraging as a volunteer. We are aiming for 1 lac before the elections and in a country of 1.5 billion plus that’s a very very small number. If each one of us can reach out to 4 others and inspire them to register we can achieve a lot more easily.

Come join in the fun. Call us up and get working, get knocking on heads…

Until next time…this is Shridhar signing off…keep the faith in your chosen way… this meaningful revolution is growing each day.
