It is very important we participate in the voting process. The following is the percentage of vote polled during the last two elections:–

Table 1 - South

State	2009	Percentage	2012	Percentage
Andhrapradesh	3460	51.21%	4345	51.51%
Karnataka	3702	41.24%	3869	36.48%

Total polled	15730		18556
Gross Total	35182		41663
Net % of Polling	44.71%		44.54%

     ·         When we compare polling pattern for the years 2009 and 2012, Net % of Polling is only around 45%.

·         We need to increase the polling % in order to ensure Members Interest is protected in the council.

 

·         Non–voting may leads to wrong person may get elected to the council. It may also show bad signal to the government about the unity of CA Fraternity.

 

·         As you are aware the number of seats from SIRC got reduced from 7 to 6, selecting right people is member’s duty.

Election Dates:
