India is turning to the Internet as general elections approach, but it is not political parties or the main candidates in the world's biggest democracy that are embracing the likes of Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube to swell coffers and boost support. While the ruling Congress and main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party stick to largely traditional campaigning for now, tech-savvy groups are targeting the growing and potentially influential middle classes on the worldwide web.

India has some 714 million eligible voters, including 170 million under 35, but unlike in developed countries, it is the marginalised rural poor who vote in the biggest numbers, often along caste, regional or religious lines. In contrast, many of the English-speaking middle and upper classes readily admit to having never voted, yet still complain loudly about standards of leadership and governance. Most Indians- 83% feel lawmakers are corrupt and 59 percent think their main motivation is money, according to a recent Times of India survey. Nearly three-quarters (72%) believe politicians are inefficient and 60 percent blame them for all the country's ills.

So users, do you think online voting for elections is a good idea?

This will be the worst idea our government will be ever taking. What if one man has many e-mail ids? How will be check the authenticity of the voter? In practical voting, the voter gets a mark on his finger which prohibits him from voting again on the same day. But this kind of voting will make him give many votes resulting in an incorrect estimation of votes.
