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

Hello, I am Tanmay.

My opinion says NOTA will not be the right option as,

1. NOTA absolutely take us to the worse condition i.e. Re-election which causes many factors.

2. IF any party led with the certain votes than the votes given in NOTA will be a waste.

Rather than giving the votes to the other party who we think is better, because that vote will be utilized.

As INDIA is a democratic country, therefore all Indians have right to elect their representatives. How so ever if any voter could not find in his opinion suitable candidate, then NOTA shall be used.

This not only reduces chances of worst representative selection but also provokes for re-election.

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.

I am also in favor of NOTA because of political situation educated people are not interested in politics whereas uneducated people showing interest because of money and likes. They show there this satisfaction through NOTA.

The government should be formed based on NOTA because those are the real votes. Without giving any corruption. The people whose are not using their vote may be used for NOTA.

But NOTA must be taken that more votes than two parties but not full votes.

NOTA should not be included as an option because,

1) If more people supports NOTA, there might be chances of failure of election and re-election will be there which results in wasting of money and time, management problems and might be people will not come next time for voting.

2) Corruption will be more as if corrupted candidates try to put poor peoples in their favour.

And even if there is only less number of people's involve in voting, chances of winning of the corrupted candidate will be more.

3) One candidate should be there to rule a territory, but in case of NOTA, there might be chances that no candidate select by common peoples and require re-election.

4) Not give a deserving candidate.

5) Because of distribution of votes, less no.of votes represent true candidate which might result in false selection.

6) In India, most of the peoples are poor and illiterate, mostly in village, are unaware of results of NOTA,

7) If NOTA is there, then it is similar to non-voting, (voting is to choose any candidate).

NOTA is an extra advantage given by the EC to voters, it's a step to clean up the corrupt politician but this is not enough a lot of things has to be done in this area to filter, many people don't know what is parliament, assembly the seats there which party will form the government after their voting. I think EC of India researchers a mechanism in this area also.

NOTA, as the name suggests, is a non-acceptance of the candidate who is currently electing thus if this is implemented with all the norms and conditions would be a great asset to the people and for the people to decline their assent to the person they deem not fit for the post.

Hello Everyone,

According to my perspective, The NOTA (None of the above) should be the part of the panellist provided to the voter to elect their candidate as undeserving candidates need not be elected for developing our future. I think the NOTA should be given a privilege that if the selection of NOTA exceeded 50% of the vote then re-elections should be conducted welcoming new candidates as it proves that more than half of population are not satisfied with any of present candidates. IT can also give rise to new leaders with no corrupted minds and dreams to make India a developed country.

Why? Why NOTA?

If someone wants "none of the above" then he/she has a choice not to go to the booth.

We'll have to modify our voting machines. Why waste our resources for nothing?

Just don't go damn it.

If the number of votes are less than half of the population then there will automatically be re-elections.

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.
