Should voters be given a NOTA (None Of The Above) choice?

I think there should not be (NOTA) option in election. Because there is need of atleast one party to be in power to regulate the economy if there will be such option it will reduce the vote percentage.

NOTA is a choice of person. In it, if a person is unable to find a good candidate in the election then he can press nota. By pressing these things many new good leaders would come up and look upon the demands of the people. It also helps in improving the working functionality of organizations. It can act as a feedback.

I think the Nota option should be there because it will involve more people in the election.
There are a lot of people who just vote their valuable vote to anyone without thinking. If there were Nota option at least the wrong candidate wouldn't win.

Both options are right to have NOTA and not in the EVM machine. By clicking the NOTA option it added in the total voting percentage. And if there is no NOTA, the voter makes his choice of the present candidate by a high or low chance.

I think the NoTa option should be given because it helps the people to be involved in the election and have the right to not select anyone. It's totally their opinion.

In my opinion, there should not be an option for NOTA (None of the Above) on an Electronic Voting Machine (EVM). Allow me to explain why. Consider a scenario where three candidates, A, B, and C, are contesting an election. A significant portion of the population in a particular region does not wish to vote for any of these three candidates. However, there are some individuals who vote in favor of Candidate A unanimously, let's assume that's 25% of the total votes. Additionally, 50% of the votes have been cast against the NOTA option, indicating that these voters do not support the idea of choosing any of the candidates. Furthermore, 25% of eligible voters do not even turn up to vote on election day.

In this situation, Candidate A would likely emerge as the winner, even though they may not have substantial support from the majority of the electorate. The NOTA, however, option can be given after removing the concept of 75 %. It should be at least 50 % so that there would be a chance of re-election, considering that a large number of the voters do not want any of these candidates.

Thank you!

Having a choice of NOTA clearly gives you the right to freedom of choice, but I believe that having something is preferable to having nothing. Nobody will be elected, which is an unusual occurrence.

Instead of focusing on the end result, we should concentrate on the process. It won't happen overnight, but it is possible.

We mistakenly believe that NOTA means to choose no one, but it actually means that if we do not choose someone, we are simply allowing other parties to win, whom we may or may not trust, so I believe we should simply take a step forward and nurture and find future leaders who can bring about a genuine change in society.

In my opinion,

NOTA as an option should be given to the voters. First, let us understand what is NOTA: None of the Above means people are not satisfied with the candidates or their opinion who are standing for the election, this way people will utilize their power of democracy. Rather than staying at home and criticising. This way people's participation in a vote also increases and their right to vote.

There is also some demerit like if the NOTA vote is less than 75% then these votes are not valid And there will be no re-election. Other than that some people will use the NOTA option for useless reasons. Now concluding my words having the option of NOTA will provide full-fledged use of democracy. And people's right of being sovereign at the time of election.

Hello all.

NOTA should be an option because it to some extent is the answer to the criticism of democracy where critics exclaim that democracy doesn't provide choices to people. The people have the choice to vote for the available candidates which gives a message to the political parties to review their mechanism of distribution of tickets.

Then again NOTA means people asking for different candidates which means that they expect for better candidates so this signifies that they trust the process of democracy.

Let the impact be small but the sheer existence of NOTA provides people to participate in the decision-making process.

NOTA as an idea works well only when the voter pool is qualified enough to understand its strength. Present-day re-elections with new candidates will be held only if NOTA acquires 75% of total votes. Observing the stats, I don't think there will be a time in the near future that could satisfy the 75% condition.

So according to me, another solution is to lessen the 75% to 50% to give more strength to people and NOTA ideas.
