印度博客圈与主流媒体都在热烈讨论,尽管出现像[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://jaagore.com/" rel="nofollow" href="http://jaagore.com/">Jaaro Re[</a>这样的选民登记宣传活动,以及如[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://votereport.in/" rel="nofollow" href="http://votereport.in/">Vote Report India[</a>的透明选举计划,孟买(Mumbai)投票率却只有44.21%。
许多人都试图解释,为何孟买居民不愿投票。
在[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/current-affairs/did-mumbai-passvoter-turnout-test-experts-discuss/395860" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/current-affairs/did-mumbai-passvoter-turnout-test-experts-discuss/395860">CNBC-TV18座谈节目[</a>中,独立候选人Meera Sanyal、「Empowered Mumbai」组织代表Madhav Bhatkuly、孟买大学教授B Venkatesh、[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://mumbaivotes.com/" rel="nofollow" href="http://mumbaivotes.com/">MumbaiVotes[</a>网站代表Vivek Gilani都想探究,孟买投票率为何如此之低。

另一群人觉得,当初人们期待孟买会有高投票率,一开始就是个错误。
专栏作家[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://www.virsanghvi.com/vir-world-ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=276" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.virsanghvi.com/vir-world-ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=276">Vir Sanghvi[</a>并不意外孟买投票率很低,认为人们误信恐怖攻击事件会提高都会区年轻人的公民参与意愿;[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://ananthwrites.blogspot.com/2009/05/after-all-noise-mumbais-voters-dont.html" rel="nofollow" href="http://ananthwrites.blogspot.com/2009/05/after-all-noise-mumbais-voters-dont.html">Ananth Krishnan[</a>怪罪媒体造成错误期待,Twitter用户[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://twitter.com/kaushal/statuses/1680113199" rel="nofollow" href="http://twitter.com/kaushal/statuses/1680113199">Kaushal Karkhanis[</a>表示,多数选举推广计划都锁定特定阶级,而非多数选民和大众。
还有第三群人努力思考,未来有何方式能鼓励选民投票。
[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1252173" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?newsid=1252173">Rediff[</a>询问读者,由于投票率如此低,印度是否应改为强制投票制,[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://mohit0455.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/where-are-the-voters/" rel="nofollow" href="http://mohit0455.wordpress.com/2009/05/01/where-are-the-voters/">Mohit Atale[</a>相信若加上「以上皆非」选项,就能提高投票率。
笔者个人认为,就网络选民登记、透明及推广计划而言,这是印度史无前例的一场选举。
这些计划触及[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://www.gauravonomics.com/blog/social-media-citizen-journalism-in-the-1126-mumbai-terror-attacks-a-case-study/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gauravonomics.com/blog/social-media-citizen-journalism-in-the-1126-mumbai-terror-attacks-a-case-study/">孟买恐怖攻击事件[</a>后的愤怒,藉以转化为积极对话,创造出公民参与的网络空间,正因为这些声浪,让作家[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://shashitharoor.in/" rel="nofollow" href="http://shashitharoor.in/">Shashi Tharoor[</a>、女芭蕾舞者[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://mallikasarabhai.in/" rel="nofollow" href="http://mallikasarabhai.in/">Mallika Sarabhai[</a>、荷兰银行印度主管[<a target=_blank target="_blank" title="http://www.meerahsanyal.in/" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.meerahsanyal.in/">Meera Sanyal[</a>决定参选。
或许这些计划未能大幅刺激投票率,但已打下让都会、中产、年轻选民众参与严肃公民议题的基础,空谈比行动容易,但得先有公民参与,才有集体行动,这即是美国的前例,2004年时,网络参与未能让迪恩(Howard Dean)获得民主党提名,也没成功将凯瑞(JohnKerry)送上总统宝座,但确已奠定网络运动基础,让欧巴马(BarackObama)在2008年能充分运用。如此看来,2009年印度大选即像2004年美国经验。
或许至2014年时,印度会出现一位具全国性魅力的领袖,抓住年轻人的想像,此次选举中,无论国大党或人民党皆缺乏领导魅力的总理候选人领军;年轻选民也厌倦国大党内的谄媚文化,担心人民党内的社区极端主义,也警觉到区域政党声势高涨导致政坛裂解,因此自孟买恐怖攻击案之后,社会上充斥关于法律第49(O)条的讨论及负面投票,期待情况至2014年会改变。
