As mentioned earlier, there are many people who think that their vote does not matter and therefore do not even register themselves to vote. However, we often forget that even a difference of one vote can be the difference between a good government and a bad government, a capable and strong head of state and a weak and indecisive government. Therefore, every individual is repeatedly stressed upon to vote.
Why should we vote in India: What are the main reasons to vote?
This is our right: India’s democratic foundation is based on election results. Our legislatures and parliaments are elected by, for and by the people. We are fortunate to have the constitutional right to vote. We take it for granted, but the Constitution gives us the right to vote for whoever we want and to change our minds.
Agent of change: Your vote has the potential to make a significant difference. If you are dissatisfied with the current government then you can vote for a better government. If people do not vote, the same party will remain in power for the next five years. Ultimately, if bad governance is left in the country, it is the people’s fault that they voted incorrectly or did not vote at all.
Your vote matters: Every vote matters. Although it seems like there is an endless sea of people waiting to vote, every vote counts. When the national attitude changes from thinking “my vote doesn’t matter”, the numbers go up and a larger number of people voting will make a difference. The responsibility is on every person.

Note: The Government of India has made it possible for voters to cast their vote even if they are dissatisfied with any candidate. NOTA means none of the above, and it is an important vote for those individuals who are not satisfied with any candidate. NOTA voting means that no candidate is suitable.
