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 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.

NOTA is a good option because no matter whom we vote there's no change in society. We should spread awareness among people about NOTA. I will wait in queue even I have to vote NOTA even if my 1 NOTA doesn't make a difference because at least I was given a chance to vote what I really want. Mainly because I don't have any politicians in my family so I no need to stick up for one.

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.

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.
