Hello everyone.

I am Narinder, in my point of view, there should be a NOTA option in EVM because sometimes if the people think no candidate is right for our nation they can press the NOTA option and it is seen that some people don't vote just because they don't find a candidate they required. If there if more than 75%of votes are given to NOTA there will be re-election and other Candidates get a chance.

As every coin has two sides it has also some demerits.

- People will press the NOTA option just because of some silly reason.

- govt should ensure the background of each candidate is properly before being chosen for election.

Then there will be no need to add NOTA.

- some people would press NOTA to give chance to the candidate of their party who is not selected.

At last, I want to say this is a very good initiative of adding the NOTA option because it has more merits than demerits.

Thank you.

Hello.

I'm Abdul, obviously, according to my opinion, there must be a NOTA option in EVM machine, because sometimes if the people think no candidate is right for our country And nation. They can press the Nota option And it is seen that some people don't vote just because they don't find a corrupt candidate. If there is More than 75%vote are given to NOTA then will be reelection and other candidates get a chance because the main cause is the candidate Not good And didn't do well. Many candidates want to destroy our country And their living people. Such that our political party are doing corruption nowadays. So, the best choice is NOTA for the people And NOTA is A good way for voting.

Hi everyone.

I am Nithin Kumar I'm happy to initiate this talk about "Whether voters be given a NOTA".

I will say yes to NOTA. First of all, we wanted to know what is NOTA- (None Of The Above) given in an EVM Machine NOTA is nothing but when a voter is not satisfied with the candidate that they are going to vote for. They can go with the option called NOTA (None of the Above) where they point their answer as their not interested or satisfied with the candidate. If the NOTA vote counts exceed the above 75 Percentage there will be reelection kept where new candidates can participate in that election. Voting is a common right people can select candidates if they like or else they can also change the candidate in the election by clicking a single button NOTA.

Good Evening Friends,

According to me, obviously Should give the NOTA option for the people for the election process. Because of knowing the people's common thinking about the election and political changing system.

Thanking You.

I think an EVM Machine should have a NOTA option because it includes support for freedom of expression. Individuals possess the formal right to reject all candidates and express that none are sufficient for democratic self-determination.

My opinion about this topic is People vote for nota feel like no one candidate is the right person that's why to press the note option. But those are voted for this option note no use at the same time there is no big changes at the election because more than 75% have for Nota may move the next step otherwise no use. But people willing to participate least too.

Thanks

It's a good thing that the NOTA option is available, it can lighten others in seeing that there are people that don't just sit at home and shut up, there are people now who walk around crying to be heard.

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.

Hello all.

NOTA should be an option because it to some extent is the answer to the criticism of democracy where critics exclaim that democracy doesn't provide choices to people. The people have the choice to vote for the available candidates which gives a message to the political parties to review their mechanism of distribution of tickets.

Then again NOTA means people asking for different candidates which means that they expect for better candidates so this signifies that they trust the process of democracy.

Let the impact be small but the sheer existence of NOTA provides people to participate in the decision-making process.

In my opinion,

NOTA as an option should be given to the voters. First, let us understand what is NOTA: None of the Above means people are not satisfied with the candidates or their opinion who are standing for the election, this way people will utilize their power of democracy. Rather than staying at home and criticising. This way people's participation in a vote also increases and their right to vote.

There is also some demerit like if the NOTA vote is less than 75% then these votes are not valid And there will be no re-election. Other than that some people will use the NOTA option for useless reasons. Now concluding my words having the option of NOTA will provide full-fledged use of democracy. And people's right of being sovereign at the time of election.
