Part - I : Basic instructions for citizens
------------------------------------
.
(1) (1a) After this law is enacted, you (word “you” means - any voter of India, including any dalit voter, any woman voter, any senior citizen voter or any poor voter or any farmer voter or any voter) can go to Clerk in your District Collector’s office, and you may give your affidavit to the Clerk.
.
(1b) The affidavit can be complaint or RTI application or law you propose or remedial action demanded.
.
(1c) The Clerk will scan and upload your affidavit on PM’s website in a way anyone in world, who wants to see, may see.
.
(1d) The Clerk will also give you the serial number of your affidavit. The fee you will need to pay will be Rs 20 per page.
.
(2) (2a) You (i.e. registered voter) may go to your Talati office (Talati = Patwari or Village Officer), and give him complain number (of a complaint filed by anyone in clause-1), and mention whether you want to add YES or NO on that complaint.
.
(2b) And you may change YES / NO filed any day any number of times. The fee again will be Re 1 or Rs 3/- as before
.
(2c) The fee for above two steps will be Re1 for BPL card holder and will be Rs 3 for others.
.
(3) Important information for all : the YES-NO count will NOT be binding on PM or any Minister or any officer or any court. However, if over 45 crore voters of India say YES on an affidavit, then PM may or need not execute the actions mentioned in the affidavit or PM may or need not resign. The decision of PM will be final.
.
(4) For giving affidavit, in clause-1, the Collector may require you to bring your voter-ids, aadhar card and may also require you bring zero or upto five witnesses who personally know you. You will not be allowed to remove the affidavit you have once put. And except court order, no officer will be allowed to remove your affidavit. And you are told – a court may punish you for any false information given or any false defamatory statements in the affidavit. The Clerk may take your picture and your finger print.
.
(5) You need not register YES / NO on all affidavits filed across India. It will be your choice which affidavits do you want to consider and which affidavits you wish ignore. And whether you want to file YES or NO.
.
(6) You may submit your cell phone number to Clerk incharge of maintaining voterlist. The phone must be in your name or in name or in the name of your close family member. If you do, then whenever you give an affidavit (as in clause-1) or give a YES-NO (as in clause-2), you will get a feedback SMS. It will be similar to SMS one gets after withdrawing cash from ATM. And if anyone else is wrongly giving an affidavit in your name or wrongly giving YES-NO in your name, then also you will get an SMS. In such case, you may give complain to police
.
(7) You may get a magnetic card as voter card (similar to an ATM card). And Talati’s office may have ATM like machine where you can enter affidavit number and specify your YES/NO. You may use this facility when available. The charge will be Re 1 per YES / NO filing or changing
.
(8) The Collector may create a system whereby you can submit YES / NO on affidavit via SMS or an APP. When that happens, you may register YES / NO on an affidavit via SMS or AAP. Collector will decide the charges.
