Yo Orcawk and P.DIPY! More BULL From the lonely! 176 parties to choose from? You wonder why they get a day off:)) 60 percent of the more than 600 million Indians eligible to vote will turn out to vote. There are 176 parties registered to contest 543 seats in 773,000 polling stations; 4,750 candidates stood, but on average there were only 2.3 serious candidates per seat. Like every national and virtually every state election since independence, this election will undoubtedly be "free and fair" by the most stringent definition. There is a mechanism for having a repolling in the handful of constituencies in which there will be gross violations of procedure ("booth capturing" and the like). Indian elections are becoming more peaceful: there were "only" 65 deaths due to poll violence in 1998, compared to 213 in 1996.
