Hi.
What if NOTA is used?
Because even if NOTA is used then also person having the second preference will get elected.
If we want real implication of NOTA there has to be changed in the provision made.

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.

Hello, friends.
In my opinion providing an option of NOTA is good. First of all, it ensures our freedom of expression being living in a democratic country. Nowadays so many tainted candidates have entered in our politics, if no.of votes for NOTA is more then EC would have to reconsider about new rules and regulations for the candidate which may, in turn, provide us with a good contestant in future. Political parties will take it as an alarm and they also have to think about their candidates. Of course, a lot of money gets wasted in fresh elections but that money is not more than the money earned by the tainted candidate within 5 years by unfair means. Therefore, NOTA may also prove good for our so called WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION.

Yes, and the reason behind is it is the way candidates are selected by different parties.
In, democracy, we have freedom to choose our leader and for that elections are held periodically and at the different level of governance, but the way candidates are selected by major political parties is hazardous to the spirit of the democracy. They tend to file those candidates who can influence the results with their money and muscle power. They tend to select the candidates on the basis of their caste and religion, not on the basis of their competencies.
To eradicate this we must have an option which enables our voters to challenge the candidacy of all the candidates if they are not satisfied by all of them.
But there is a glitch in the current provision of NOTA which must be eradicated so that it can serve as the major democratic check by the voter. As per now, if NOTA comes out to be the prime choice of the voters then candidate which is second to it will be declared as the winner, such provisions end up the purpose which is to be served by it. It will be much effective when the election in that constituency will be declared as void and followed by a re-election in which all the contestants who had fought earlier will not be allowed to take part again.

NOTA should be applied against uncontest candidate as well. Few rich people in our area selected their candidate from criminal background and not giving chance to any opponent. NOTA is best if applicable in our area.

I do think that, a country like India, Logically NOTA is the only option which would be chosen most if the Voters cast their vote truly. But under social and political circumstances they tap on someone not liable.
Every candidate is unfit for one or another citizen because of their different mentality about Politicians.

I think for the current situation the choice of NOTA is required because people are given chances to expose their thoughts regarding the ruling party indirectly. If none got selected it should involve the participation of new persons those who really has the capability to rule the nation.

Hey,
I think voters should be given a NOTA choice because it shows the candidates that some people just don't find them correct candidate that they can really do something for citizens. It is necessary option to add NOTA choice to voters.
Thanks!

1. Sometimes voter hopes to that person who really care about them and who make something for general people.
2. But sometimes voter gives vote only for NOTA.
3. SO I concluded all voters are not same that's why we can't say it's wrong. Finally, it's all depends on priority.
4. I think who really change N develop our status those requirements. Vite.
