3. A citizen can cancel his approvals any day as well.
4. The Talati will put the preferences of the citizen on Lokpal’s website with citizen’s voter-ID number and his preferences.
5. If a candidate gets approval of over 24 crore citizen voters and one crore more than existing lokpal, then existing LOKPAL CHAIRPERSON may resign and appoint the person with highest approval as LOKPAL CHAIRPERSON.
These procedures can also be used by citizens to RETAIN and bring back an honest person if he has been wrong fully been removed by some authority and also to REJECT a dishonest person.
