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.
Thank you.

I think no.
Nota is only waste of the right to vote.
Nota means a doll in the hand of fools.
If in a constituency the no. Of total vote is 100 and 80 people vote for Nota and rest 20 vote are devided in two candidates getting 12 and 8 votes respectively, then the candidate who got 12 votes will win.
It means the total 80 vote get waste.
It's a bad concept. There will be no meaning of democracy in such system.

In my opinion, the NOTA (None of the Above) option should not be included in elections because it diminishes competition among candidates.
For instance, if the difference in votes between the winner and the runner-up is very small, the votes cast for NOTA could have been redirected to another candidate. This would increase the chances of the most deserving or accurate candidate winning the election.

No, voters should not be given NOTA choice, because if everyone go for this choice in votings, then definitely no political party will come in the country. And there will be 99% chance of coming military raj in the country. Also the money wasted on the elections will be of no use. This was started for the benefit of people but I think that this may also go against the benefit of public.

NOTA's presence may bring indifference in our democratic country. Because a democracy means people choose their government who can run the state. If none of the leaders are chosen so who will administrate the state?
People of the nation must be indifferent towards their duties if the NOTA is given. I think NOTA may no longer work if citizens are educated and non-corrupted as well.

NOTA is a good option because no matter whom we vote there's no change in society. We should spread awareness among people about NOTA. I will wait in queue even I have to vote NOTA even if my 1 NOTA doesn't make a difference because at least I was given a chance to vote what I really want. Mainly because I don't have any politicians in my family so I no need to stick up for one.

Hello, friend.
As we know India is a democratic country and every people have their own rights choice so why not in election scenario.
NOTA choice should be there so that people can give msg to election parties that your candidates are not able to uplift our country. It may lead to the selection of better candidates and our country foundation will be strong enough to progress.

Hi, friends.
I think NOTA is a good option to get transparency in the elections.
And yes I agree using NOTA option there is a waste of money as it will result in re-election but guys this change will lead to another change and forces government to re-think on a policy of election. So every change is good.
We should all support NOTA so that a fear come in every politician.

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.
