I agree with you..but honestly, you can't expect ppl to know this rule...in a country where so many ppl are illiterate???
You probably won't believe this..but its my personal experience.....my maid always gives vote to a certain party saying that she has voted for a particular XYZ candidate...when that Mr/Mrs. XYZ..the great leader...actually died decades ago...thse ppl don't even know the name of the candidate they are voting for...they think they have voted for this XYZ, who is no longer alive
