Choose not to vote, but record your remarks
The Election Commission of India has issued instructions mandating that if a voter decides not to record his vote after his electoral roll number has been entered in the register of voters and he has put his signatures or thumb impression, a remark to this effect shall be made in the register available with the Presiding Officer.

In a statement issued on Monday, a UT spokesperson said the decision has been taken to minimise complaints from the public on assistance sought from polling officers, when the electorate chooses not to cast his or her vote.
