Strangely, the only eligibility criteria for people to vote is age.
So, anybody who is 18 years of age and has no idea who is what in India can go ahead and change the future of India.
Just listing down the different thought processes of people while voting:
1) I have no idea of the candidates in my constituency. But since I am a responsible citizen of India, I will go ahead and vote for some random guy.
2) I will vote for a corrupt person in my constituency since I like the PM candidate of the corrupt guy party.
3) What will people think If I dont vote.
4) What will people think If I dont vote for Modi.
5) I saw an ad on the newspaper front page. Hence voting for that party.
6) My family is a loyal voter of this party. Hence, I will also vote for this party. Who cares for the candidates and other details.
7) I have been voting for the same party all these years. Hence, will vote for change and see if something changes.
8) I like a candidate's profile and think he's a good guy, but will still vote for the corrupt guy as I know that the good guy will anyway lose. Why should I waste my vote?
9) My friend shared a link on FB about a party - hence will vote for that party.
10) I saw some negative news about a party on a news channel. Hence, will vote for its rival party.
11) This guy has a lot of assets. Will vote for a poor guy.
12) This guy has a lot of assets. Will vote for him as he already has a lot of money.
13) Will vote for my caste guy. Let him at least make some money.
14) Will vote for whom my husband / father asks me to vote for.
15) This party workers helped me find my voting serial number. Hence, will vote for them.
16) All are thieves. But still will vote for one of the thieves.
17) I want to post a selfie with my inked finger on FB. Hence voting for some random party.
Hopefully EC introduces a new button "IHNI" for "I Have No Idea" just like the NOTA button.
Please add more such thoughts ;)
