Good Evening Friends,

According to me, Obviously Should give the NOTA option for the Peoples for election Process. Because of knowing the peoples common thinking about the election and political changing system. This is Useful for peoples thinking about the political changes. This is helpful for changing the political leaders changing process for the election committee. So, the Election committee to know the people thinking about the political system. So this is helpful. So, Election Committee should give the NOTA option for the election.

Thanking You.

Hey!

My opinion is that the NOTA choice should be given to the voters. The reason being currently their are lot of people who does not take election process seriously and do not possess the voter card. We being a democratic country should take this as our responsibility to vote for the right one for the welfare of country. So participation is should be increased not decreased. People are still confused with the facts of election and government and hence if they will get this opportunity of NOTA they will waste up the vote. Nd every vote counts. So, I believe this is not the time to provide NOTA for the voters. Its their responsibility to think discuss and vote for the right one.

Hello everyone,

In this context, Two questions arise in my mind.

IF NOTA is made effective, who shall take up the post of running the government?

Wouldn't there be another election to decide the same?

Or, Will the state appoint experienced and qualified intellects with good ethical values to run the government.

NOTA is UN necessary as the outcome is Vague and will create more chaos in the system.

Election as it is a method of selecting the best from a group of nominated candidates.

Another hypothesis is that NOTA can act acts as a placebo, where the probability of winning goes to the best.

Deserved candidate/nominee. In this context, I feel NOTA has a statistical significance.

According to me, the NOTA option should not be given to the people. As this option will make easy to such kind of people who are not serious regarding electing a government.

NOTA option will provoke people to not to do brainwork while choosing any party, as it happens that people are confused in selecting any one of the parties.

If this option would not be there then it may happen that such kind of people will start thinking regarding at least about their 'first preference' among the parties.

Removal of NOTA option will lead to an increase in the total number of votes, no time waste and appropriate way to select government as per my view.

Nota is not the best option for the people to show their own aggression. Today we all are living in a democratic country. If we put their importance in nota it's only a waste of time. We must have to choose a candidate which do for the welfare of our country. We have to think over that if we have the power to choose him then don't forget we can reject him also.

Hello friends.

In my point, I say that nota is just for wasting our time. Because many give money to people and they get money, for getting the money we can put a vote in nota.

Hello everyone!

Today our discussion topic is should voters be given a NOTA choice?

Some favourable facts are.

1. For increasing the vote percent it is very beneficial because many voters think none of the candidate are suitable for the post, so the can press nota.

2. Analysis of the bad or good candidate in a particular region is easily done by calculating nota percentage.

3. Aggression of public on the government is also show by democratic way by giving nota option.

4. Your vote power is not in other hands, if you are note give the votes, there are many cases on the basis of your name vote is given to a particular Candidate.

Some unfavorable facts are.

1. Nota votes are like a waste in dustbin, no matter how much percent nota votes are ?

After subtracting nota votes which candidate is in majority wins easily. Means nota have no power so why government make fool by given nota. (except Maharashtra).

2. If there are no provisions after calculating nota percentage it is not benificial.

Hello everyone.

According to me, I would say that having nota for an election as an option is really good idea, if suppose there are the other two parties in the election to whom the voter if suppose doesn't adjust to the idealogy of that respective parties, But forcing him or her self to vote any one among them is like not having the right to freedom of speech and expression, but having nota as an option really provides the voters their rights of expression, giving them mental satisfaction.

In my point of view, the voter has a basic right to vote for NOTA because everybody has their own priority.

The person who chooses a leader who has the ability to make the growth of our nation is good for our country but at the same time choosing a leader who had jealous of money was not fit so NOTA is correct.

According to me, Nota is make for that people who have no option to choose best candidate in their place but it's drawback also that in India corrupt candidates win election because people use Nota.
