Should voters be given a NOTA (None Of The Above) choice?

Hello,

In my point of view, there should be an option for NOTA. If there is no option for NOTA definitely people have to vote for one candidate. The candidate may or may not has the capabilities to rule the country. This leads to many problems. If there is no option for NOTA that we are means people.

Are electing the wrong person to rule their country or village whatever it may be.

If we elect any person blindly that indirectly we are supporting the election of an incorrect person for a nation. We have the responsibility of electing the right person for bright future.

I strongly recommend NOTA is the best option at present all the politician have some form of corruption stain they have. Once they come to power they started milking money and started investing in across India and abroad. In the parliament, they fight inside and exchange words and they spoil the whole day without passing any bills. Every political party wants power so that they can easily mint money. They don't get punished for taking bribe also. We have seen so many incidents none of them are punished. It's very shame and it will encourage them to do to so in the near future. Many political candidates have so many criminal records and poor educational background. To curb these NOTA is the best option.

Dear friends, reading your views on NOTA in this forum was an enriching experience.

I am personally against NOTA in Indian elections scenario.

Elections are held to choose leaders from among people, by the people, through voting. Every member of society must vote for the best candidate from within their society. A society that does not even allow and support its good candidate to come forward for election has no right to deny the candidates in an election.

"What you sow, so shall you reap.".

If people want a change, they should let deserving people come forward and support them even against their personal gains.

"Give to society what you want from society in return". You give NOTA, you get NOTA.

All those who wish for a change but never act on it choose NOTA and put the blame on a system. As the count of such voters increase, count of NOTA voters will go up and will cause instability in governance.

Awareness is important and so is the need for right conscience. NOT NOTA.

Hello, sir.

If we have an option for NOTA, Then it is the shame for us. What happens if 100% voters chose NOTA. Nothing same leader same option again. Its is just wastage of time and money. If we want an option for NOTA then we need to create a rule. If NOTA rate is high then all those leaders of that place are not eligible for leading again.

NOTA should be implemented. Nowadays famous personalities such as movie stars, sports personalities etc. Come to politics. People vote for the popularity, not for the character or talent of the person. Also, many people vote for the party their previous generation has been supporting rather than voting for the candidate who is good and talented. NOTA can act as an eye opener for the parties and the government to understand that the people are not happy with the candidate and their notions.

Hello friends,

In my point of view NOTA in soon leads to revolutionary changes in our election field because many educated people are not showing interest on voting just because of criminal politicians are the candidates. NOTA is the best for such a people. So there will be changes of increase in voting percentage if educated people comes forward to use their vote right.

If NOTA will happens in India, then it will benefit for our nation, because different person have different choice, in India some many people have confusion to choose their leader so in my humble opinion NOTA is also selected in the choice list of election.

Those are unaware about politician's politics they should not have right to vote because they are only increasing votes of one leader. Those know all own area's politician members work they will vote them if they are appreciating them and those would like no one from selected members to give rights of developing area or to complete necessities of people then they will select NOTA. So many people are against politics so they will go for voting and will press NOTA.

Hello Everyone,

The idea if having a NOTA option is a very interesting one. It will not only relieve us from selecting candidates whom we don't really want to but also give the Government an outlook of what the citizens are expecting is not satisfied by the nominated candidates. Just because we will have a NOTA option people will at least come forward to vote and not sit back wasting their votes. Not just NOTA the government should also bring up a policy that if the percentage of NOTA votes in award exceeds 50% or so, The nominated candidates must be changed.

Hello everyone NOTA option too good, we have different articles in our constitution but still most of us are not aware for eg: (Right to vote article) do we think "IS everyone voting according to their own VIEWS?" my answer is no because most of us goes traditional approach of voting as their forefathers, relatives, society use to do but rarely on their own views, so first we need to be aware and also make aware to others value of vote, thus we can eliminate the candidate, still if we don't find any of the remaining candidate worth enough then NOTA OPTION IS TOO GOOD with condition follows.
