Respected Returning Officer,

Your message on Association's blog was seen with interest today. following are my serious objections to your overall programme:

1. Members are required to submit their votes thru emails on a sheet containing their identity. This makes them vulnerable to open identification, and sends all claims of 'secrecy' to winds. My submission is that ballot should mandatorily be 'secret.'
2. This 'open' system of voting mat deter some voters et al,and may also result in dishonest voting.
3. Members are required to submit their votes from email IDs uploaded on the Association's blog only. Thereby meaning that votes cast from other IDs shall not be taken cognizance of. However all such IDs are not correctly uploaded. A case in point is my own ID - which was otherwise already available with the Association - but I do not know why and how my ID got changed! that too wrongly. Meaning thereby that (a) I am bereft of any communication from the Association, and (b) now under new diktat I will not be able to cast my vote. This will not only be a loss to me, but shall also kill the entire spirit of 'open elections.'
4. There is a serious ambiguity in selection symbols as uploaded on the blog. While the main letter says a voter has to put * mark against his choice of candidate, the ballot paper as such requires them to put an 'Y' mark. This is not only confusing, but is also designed to fail the entire programme!
5. The names of candidates have been shown in the list in a haphazard manner. There is no systematic approach. This is going to give unfair benefit to a particular group of candidates. The names should appear in alphabetic order, to be fair.
6. The ballot paper's print out comes out in a very small size, making it absolutely unreadable and incomprehensible.
7. The entire system of uploading things on the web is partisan, it is handeled by a person belonging to a particular group/panel. This is also against the spirit of secret elections. It should have been handeled by a neutral person/entity.

Sir, I may sound a little unreasonable but kindly appreciate the feelings of serious candidates. A lot is on stake - including your own repute. Please do not let this be hijacked by unscuplous elements.
with best regards,
Maneesh Singhal
Candidate for the post of General Secretary
