Why Election in the month of April-May?
Conducting Polls during April-May will definitly dampen the polling percentage. The simple reason is during holiday period people will usually visit their native place or friends/relative houses. If we take Chennai, considerable amount of people will go to their native during these holiday period. Likewise, rest of Tamiladu people will come to Chennai for vacation.
If we conduct polls during this period, we cannot expect the people to go back to their place where they have their name enrolled in the electoral list. Election Commission should seriously think of moving the election out of April-May window period. By this way we can surely see rise in the voting percentage.
What is the purpose of Election ID card ?
Election commission claims that they have provided Election ID cards to more than 98 % people. Then what is stoping them from centralizing the voting process. In the modern world, we cannot expect everyone to be available at their place during polling day. People will on the move all the times.
We have Election ID card in place, Election commission should come up with the Technology and process to vote from anywhere in India. This will also greatly increase the voter percentage.
