Hi friends,

NOTA should be provide during at election. This would be the greatest tool for measure the spoilness of political system. A voter should have this right that who choose any option to vote a candidate or not. This gonna be right step in improving the percentage of voting because there are some in society who want to give vote but due lack of good option they are not interested to give their vote any person therefore if there is option for NOTA then at least voter come to EVM machine to press the NOTA option. In my opinion this would be great step to improvement percentage of voting currently we only have highest 85% of voting we need to take it at 100.

Hello everyone,

I think the politics is like a market where the seller is trying to sell the leaders to us. They are advertising about their products and as a customer we must judge the product all by ourselves and if we don't like it, we should have an option not to buy the product. But judging by current conditions, if the whole market is full of rotten products, and if we don't buy anything, it will be us returning empty handed.

So, NOTA is undoubtedly a good choice, but we must take the responsibility of not having a leadership. Since almost all intellectuals lack the need to go for politics due to its ill effects, we should think about our responsibilities to the nation before casting the vote to NOTA, as it is not merely the solution of the problem we are facing now.

No doubt its a very good option provided nowadays to voters to initiate them to vote at least and not to waste their votes even they are not in support of any candidate. But it will be best at its service if each voter is aware of the actual meaning, use and consequences of NOTA. Only then NOTA can prove helpful for voters as well as for nation. Because nowadays not many people are aware and the no.of voters use this option is very low. Which result in almost negligible effect of NOTA option.

Ok have read lots of view about NOTA as option in election board. Yes I do agree as an option for NOTA during election. Because as in group of particular political party we people can't get a chance to pick the right full leader as they themselves do appoint to fight for the leadership, so as waste of public voter right there should be an option to decide the particular leader is not right person. Means people can show their view as if leader that is appointed is not perfect. And in any means if NOTA has highest vote than the appointed leader by their parties should remove from battle for chair and appoint some other leader. I guess by NOTA option we people could get good chance to appoint the rightful person to lead us.

Hello everyone NOTA option too good, we have different articles in our constitution but still most of us are not aware for eg: (Right to vote article) do we think "IS everyone voting according to their own VIEWS?" my answer is no because most of us goes traditional approach of voting as their forefathers, relatives, society use to do but rarely on their own views, so first we need to be aware and also make aware to others value of vote, thus we can eliminate the candidate, still if we don't find any of the remaining candidate worth enough then NOTA OPTION IS TOO GOOD with condition follows.

Hello Everyone,

The idea if having a NOTA option is a very interesting one. It will not only relieve us from selecting candidates whom we don't really want to but also give the Government an outlook of what the citizens are expecting is not satisfied by the nominated candidates. Just because we will have a NOTA option people will at least come forward to vote and not sit back wasting their votes. Not just NOTA the government should also bring up a policy that if the percentage of NOTA votes in award exceeds 50% or so, The nominated candidates must be changed.

Those are unaware about politician's politics they should not have right to vote because they are only increasing votes of one leader. Those know all own area's politician members work they will vote them if they are appreciating them and those would like no one from selected members to give rights of developing area or to complete necessities of people then they will select NOTA. So many people are against politics so they will go for voting and will press NOTA.

If NOTA will happens in India, then it will benefit for our nation, because different person have different choice, in India some many people have confusion to choose their leader so in my humble opinion NOTA is also selected in the choice list of election.

Hello friends,

In my point of view NOTA in soon leads to revolutionary changes in our election field because many educated people are not showing interest on voting just because of criminal politicians are the candidates. NOTA is the best for such a people. So there will be changes of increase in voting percentage if educated people comes forward to use their vote right.

NOTA should be implemented. Nowadays famous personalities such as movie stars, sports personalities etc. Come to politics. People vote for the popularity, not for the character or talent of the person. Also, many people vote for the party their previous generation has been supporting rather than voting for the candidate who is good and talented. NOTA can act as an eye opener for the parties and the government to understand that the people are not happy with the candidate and their notions.
