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.

Dear, friends.

First of all, we need to know why we should be given NOTA.

Because India is a democratic country we should have to respect their voting right. Freedom of expression.

But there is a problem because it does not give the right to the NOTA voters so it seems to be useless if we give power to them then it will be effective.

Thus, we can choose a better candidate for re-election as the leader will have to give a good option.

NOTA is not just an option but it gives or can give a picture of how our political parties choose candidates which have hardly to do with quality commitment & education and all of a candidate. Maybe not now but hopefully, in near future when people will think about politicians before giving them vote it will come very handy and reflection of this would address the parties to realize that weight on caste/money etc should be deduced.

Hello everyone,

Today we are facing corruption in every field and also our politician are responsible for this.

I would like to say NOTA is a good option for all voters and choose the best for our future we can destroy the corruption when our politician will not be corrupt. I would like to say again NOTA is better than corrupt Politician. We do not care about the money and time because corrupt politician more dangerous in future.

According to me, the NOTA option should be given to the voters and also treated like a candidate in the election. If the NOTA option wins the election then the Election Commission should take necessary steps against the candidates who were standing in the election from that seat. It will not only improve the transparency in the elections but also ensure that the most deserving, dedicated and popular candidates contest the election.

Seeing the massive percentage of vote shares for NOTA, I think people must be free to not choose anyone at all.

This will flash a message to the politicians that people aren't finding any of them eligible for the healthy democracy. In this way, NOTA seems to be safeguarding the right of freedom to not choose. Even by not choosing, people are choosing. So essence and soul of the electoral process is more secure in the due process.

Well, I think so that NOTA should be given to the people not just because it says disapproval to all candidates but in the future perspective it could make a firm decision regarding selection of candidates of various political parties. This would force the political parties to change their candidates and make cleaner politics. Second, and most important this would give the clear picture of the people perspective of the country.

NOTA as an idea works well only when the voter pool is qualified enough to understand its strength. Present-day re-elections with new candidates will be held only if NOTA acquires 75% of total votes. Observing the stats, I don't think there will be a time in the near future that could satisfy the 75% condition.

So according to me, another solution is to lessen the 75% to 50% to give more strength to people and NOTA ideas.

In my perspective, voters should be given a NOTA (None Of The Above) choice because the Indian Constitution gives every citizen of this country, the Right to Vote and it is no where mentioned that whoever visits the polling booth must cast his / her vote only to elect a candidate representing xyz political party and not the NOTA. What matters is that instead of sitting at home, he/she should exercise his/her Right to Vote.

I think NOTA is not a good option. Because friends we are thinking only on one side. We just think about educated people only but what about that community of people live in a village? I think this NOTA creates lots of confusion for them. And also if NOTA get more votes then re-election should be conducted. Which require lots of money that will definitely affect the peoples which are below poverty level.

Thank you.
