In my opinion, the NOTA (None of the Above) option should not be included in elections because it diminishes competition among candidates.

For instance, if the difference in votes between the winner and the runner-up is very small, the votes cast for NOTA could have been redirected to another candidate. This would increase the chances of the most deserving or accurate candidate winning the election.

In my opinion, NOTA option is not required.

Even though NOTA is chosen, the second majority party is declared as the winner.

Instead of that, there should be a rule that every citizen should know the laws and amendments of the nation in especially the candidate, and only educated candidates should be permitted for nomination.

Seeing the massive percentage of vote shares for NOTA, I think people must be free to not choose anyone at all.

This will flash a message to the politicians that people aren't finding any of them eligible for the healthy democracy. In this way, NOTA seems to be safeguarding the right of freedom to not choose. Even by not choosing, people are choosing. So essence and soul of the electoral process is more secure in the due process.

Keeping in mind the interest of public. Nota should be given as option to them So that they can show up their neutral interest. It can also seek the attention of competing parties what they can rectify in their style so that they can gain this NOTA vote shares. As NOTA shares have crucial role in election.
