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.

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.

Hello everyone,

Today we are facing corruption in every field and also our politician are responsible for this.

I would like to say NOTA is a good option for all voters and choose the best for our future we can destroy the corruption when our politician will not be corrupt. I would like to say again NOTA is better than corrupt Politician. We do not care about the money and time because corrupt politician more dangerous in future.

Hi friends,

I agree all of your points NOTA is also the best idea but we are citizens to choose our leader because we may know our candidate's good and bad news so before pressing the NOTA button we must think all the candidates and vote for the right person we are thinking.

Thanks for giving this opportunity.

The NOTA option signifies that one does agree with the options given above, this is what takes place in a multiple choice questions paper! But is an MCQ paper similar to voting? NOTA is pointless. We choose the most appropriate Government Out of the options and NOTA stands for nothing productive. Will I as a voter go all the way to the booth just to choose nothing? Any ways this system of choosing Govt. Is pointless enough, we choose the most appropriate Govt. A govt whose speeches made more sense that the other, who we less intimidated of.

Yes, I will specify the option at an election. Everyone have to rights to choose the right person to develop our city or country or anything but nowadays many politicians doing around politics around India. According to my suggestion to put the NOTA option in elections in India.

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.

According to me, The option for nota must be given if more then 60 percent of voters opted for Nota then election must be repeated. Otherwise, Nota option must not be given.

In my perspective, NOTA has both pros and cons,

If I tell positives about NOTA in this democracy country people giving their own vote to choose their constituency MLA for assembly constituency or Parliament constituency, if any party or alliance generaly not has any criteria or not deserving they can choose NOTA.

If I tell negative about NOTA however they are casting their vote to NOTA after second majority people will rull the state or country right this will make waste for casting their vote for NOTA.
