United colours of Delhi voters

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><script language="javascript">doweshowbellyad=0; </script><br />First-time Voter<br /><br />Easily identified by proud look, and slightly diffident manner. Walks hesitantly into the polling booth not knowing what to expect. Its much more than curiosity that brings in this flock. The blue dot has become something of a fashion statement, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">shukriya</span> to the Bollywood bandwagon, so everyone wants to "show off the finger".He walks out of the booth with a triumphant smile, and the powerful mark of democracy.<br /><br />Many-time Voter<br /><br /><img align="left" src="/photo/668765.cms" alt="/photo/668765.cms" border="0" />His distinguishing mark is the air of weary experience. He considers himself to be the "responsible citizen" and the "custodian of democracy". The repeated smears of ink marked through several elections hold many tales. Give him the slightest chance, and he''ll start off with views on parties, politicians and the general state (usually condemned as dismal) of politics in the country. Age hasn''t withered nor custom staled his determination to exercise his constitutional right.<br /><br />Protest Voter<br /><br />Look of "none of the above" on his indignant face. He''s determined to do his duty despite the clowns and crooks thrust upon his constituency. He has opted for the road less travelled. However, being among the odd ones out is not always easy. Confusion among officials, lack of information, and pressure from polling agents are challenges he must face to make his mark.<br /><br />Bogus Voter<br /><br />Shifty attitude. He lurks around discreet bylanes and corners near the polling booth. Hoping to cash in on the poll time frenzy he''s ready to play the game for small gains. Professionals know which areas will give them a chance to aim for the cash and the booze. Party workers are also quick to spot him and things are settled without too many polite preliminaries. The bogus voter enters the booth making sure he "fits-in" with others, a vote is cast in someone else''s name and he walks out unobtrusively.<br /><br />Aam Voter<br /><br />He represents the masses, he''s a commoner, he''s you and I. No pushes and pulls here, no agendas, he''s just there to be a part of the process. Belonging to the great Indian middle class, the ''aam'' voter may be just a name on the electoral lists, but he is perhaps the real strength, the men and women who truly dance for democracy.<br /><br />The ''I Never Vote'' Voter<br /><br />"Frankly my dear, I don''t give a damn" look. He considers himself to be a cool dude. Ask him why he doesn''t vote and he''ll unleash a flurry of excuses trying to browbeat you to agree that voting doesn''t make any difference. </div> </div>
