Elections in the new era

I was thinking the other day why we have been passing through the "developing nation" tag for many decades despite many of us being great minds. Its the rotten bureaucracy? Corrupt politicians? Careless public? or probably a mix of all the three. When we look at politicians, we always blame them for no mistake of theirs! Yes! you heard me right... No mistake of theirs.

Its you, I, and many others like us who are very well educated but are careless about the nation and we never think of voting. "Aah! one my vote! How does it matter?" kind of attitude. When we have never voted, what is the rational behind blaming the ones that are elected? We have lot of escapes for not voting. Most of us do not work in your home towns! We enjoy the holiday on elections than stretch ourselves to the polling booth.

Then who elects the one in power? Mostly the illiterate, the destitute. They vote to any one who will give them a bottle or a yellow note! I don't rule out honest voters. But they are minimal. They regret their vote after the election results are declared. This has been the case for many decades and the corrupt rule us. "Yadha Raja, Tatha Praja". However I have analyzed a solution which would fit the purpose and benefit the educated lazy voters equally well as the illiterate ones.

Elections should happen in two phases. One for the physical voters, the Second one being for online voters. Any person who is graduate and above should be permitted for online voting. This happens not just like a email id , but in a secure finger print registry mode. A person registered online may vote physically if he wishes to.

This is not the end of the story. A Progress bar is maintained for the elected members by all the Graduate Voters Registered Online (GraVoReOn) from the respective constituencies. The progress bar, for which the MLA/MP is accountable for, will be reviewed every month by the Assembly.

This not only empowers Gravoreons but improves accountability of the politicians and also motivates genuinely service oriented people to get into politics. This cleanses up the system as a whole, to see a Safer and Prosper India.
