do u vote for a political elections

To be honest, I really am completely hopeless about the political situation in India. Here 98% people stand for elections with a hope of coming to power and after that making huge money through corruption. When 98% contenders are like that, you can't do much other than brining corrupt people into power. So I never bothered to vote. But 2 years ago I learnt that if I don't go to vote, they have my name under the list of people who haven't voted and some candidate uses up my vote under bogus voting. So after that, I decided that I would goto vote every time and I would vote for a candidate who seems to have the least chances of winning.
