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

Hello,

NOTA is a good option provided the voters use it for a good cause if they think the candidates are ineligible to participate in the election. Being a democratic country, the constitution provided us with a right to vote, still many educated persons are unwilling to vote. The NOTA system provides them with a vote to not to vote anyone and show their dissatisfaction towards the nominees. Though the ECI has provided NOTA as an option, their main motto is to increase the voting percentage. All the NOTA votes are considered invalid and despite the majority of the NOTA votes the highest majority candidate wins. With some changes in the NOTA system concentrating on abolishing corruption and ineligibility of the candidate. Even if there is 1% of NOTA is recorded in an election that would take lakhs of votes as invalid. There must be a limit to the NOTA votes such that exceeding this limit the ECI would propose a re-election by re-opening nominations.

I think this would make some difference in "giving NOTA choice" to the voters as it gives an opportunity in knowing the people's true opinion.

Thank you.

Hi friends,

In my point of view, NOTA is the best option for all the voters because it is the best way for electing the right person and educated person. In order to achieve this youth must come forward and show the people how NOTA helps us to select a good leader for developing our India.

NOTA is very important to each and every individual.

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.

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.

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.

NOTA is mandatory for every citizen of India because it is a democratic country there should be a chance for nonsupport in the election. However, it is giving a chance to find the unsuitable person also in the election. So finally I support NOTA is mandatory in an election process.

Ya, every voter has a freedom of expression. If they doesn't want anyone in the list they can choose NOTA.

The presence of NOTA is mandatory nowadays because of democratic rule there is possible chance for the people to support/nonsupport. Definitely it is required NOTA in the list.

Hi, friends.

I think NOTA should be provided for voters. This indeed is gonna play an important role in the politics. There are people who do not vote just because they don't find any leader right enough to get the votes. But we do have to choose somebody. That's the problem. With this NOTA option, we actually can choose not to select anyone. This will show our demand for change, a better politician, a better leader, a new face. Also, this option will help people who don't give votes, in showing their rights.

NOTA is a toothless tiger at the moment. The Supreme Court has insisted that it be an option offered to voters. But what does it count if the Candidate with the highest votes still wins the election even if the NOTA votes are higher? The SC and Election commission have not mentioned or empowered the NOTA Voter with any power but the invalidation of the vote that is cast. All the hype that NOTA has created is just that. HYPE.

Until these votes are counted and the electorate is aware of its possible power.
