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

Hi everyone,

According to me, NOTA option button is the right choice, but the one who is choosing the option as NOTA might be the wrong choice I think. Because every citizen in society having a choice to choose the correct person for country development, if you choose NOTA means your vote is wasting that means loss of 1 vote.

So as a conclusion I can suggest giving your valid vote to Leader, who is compared to other leaders is the best. I can suggest to government also like along with NOTA option, they must give the option like choosing your best leader in that party.

Hello friends,

According to me, NOTA button in voting polls has more disadvantages. As most of the people will choose this option and we will not get the best candidate and the election will take place again and again. This will waste the resources and time of both public as well as the election commission and as we all know that how much money is being spent by the political parties on the elections and if NOTA will get the green signal then we can imagine how much money will be wasted.

So I think this method have more drawbacks than its benefits and if this is adopted then EC must have to think about its causes.

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.

At one point in time, I will NOTA will be really beneficial. But there are chances that NOTA% would be higher than any of the nominated candidates. Which indeed will again cause problems (who should take charge?). A RE-ELECTIONS? No, its again waste of resources. Sometimes it happens that leaders change their positions/wards. I feel there should be an option of "KEEP IT AS IT IS" i.e. same leader should take charge. Conducting re-elections might lead to more of corruptions.

Hi friends, all of here expressed their views regarding NOTA. In my view, NOTA is not a Great idea its good idea because why I am saying is here in our country each person has right individually voted to the person if he doesn't like candidates he simply presses NOTA but what happen finally some body electing as a representative of constitution now tell me where the NOTA votes are considered I think nowhere right just for percentage vote share to NOTA i.e. insense no action has taken regarding votes of NOTA if Election commissioner takes action regarding NOTA"why some or few people has voted it". Then people aware of it and can vote it then only the original intention regarding NOTA will come into existences.

May I concluded this NOTA is a good idea, not a great idea!

I think NOTA is the best way to show the real place of corrupted politicians in government. If they are not able to get that position then we can choose NOTA.

According to me, NOTA button will be helpful in a way though it is not a perfect way to choose a better leader. NOTA button undoubtedly provides an option to the voter to not choose any of the nominated candidates and also increases the percentage of votes. But increase in vote percentage merely is not enough. If more than 50% people choose NOTA, re-elections will be held and I don't think carrying out the process of nominations again will help because the political leaders will again nominate the candidates based on their requirement and not according to people's interest. Reelection results might not be fruitful. So there is a requirement of a much stronger solution to improve the political scenario.

Thank you.

According to me, NOTA choice is the best answer a voter can give to the highly corrupted and uneducated politicians and the best way to select the deserving person. This should be introduced in our voting system as soon as possible.

This option will give the voter the right to vote as well as reject the unwanted persons if they don't feel them be deserving after analysing their previous criminal records and education.

Youth will be encouraged to use their right for a fruitful purpose and this can ultimately lead to the betterment of the society.

Hello.

I think that the NOTA option is good for us because in many places of India where the candidates use power and money to get the vote. In this situation, the voters can easily use NOTA option for an undesirable candidate.

NOTA means None of the above, so why any of the rejected candidate be given the power to rule. It should be given chance to ruled by UPSC Officers.
