Upon answering the presiding officer\u2019s questions about her identity satisfactorily, the voter will be allowed to cast a tender vote. Tender votes are cast on ballot papers and sealed and locked away. These votes are useful when the margin between the winning candidate and the runner-up is slim. However, if the difference is large, tender votes are not counted. In the Rajasthan Assembly Elections in 2008, when the Congress\u2019s C.P. Joshi lost to the BJP\u2019s Kalyan Singh Chouhan by one vote, he moved the Rajasthan High Court in 2009 claiming that some of the votes cast were tendered. The court ordered a recount and found a tie. After a draw, Mr. Chouhan was declared the winner.<\/p><cite>https:\/\/www.thehindu.com\/opinion\/op-ed\/tendered-vote\/article26925328.ece<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Lost votes &#8211; due to various reasons<\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>NO.
