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

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.

Hello.

I'm Abdul, obviously, according to my opinion, there must be a NOTA option in EVM machine, because sometimes if the people think no candidate is right for our country And nation. They can press the Nota option And it is seen that some people don't vote just because they don't find a corrupt candidate. If there is More than 75%vote are given to NOTA then will be reelection and other candidates get a chance because the main cause is the candidate Not good And didn't do well. Many candidates want to destroy our country And their living people. Such that our political party are doing corruption nowadays. So, the best choice is NOTA for the people And NOTA is A good way for voting.

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.

I strongly feel that voters should not be given a any of the above choices. This would be proportional to not casting a vote. This would mean we are avoiding our fundamental duties. Even if we are given a none of the above choices, eventually one among the remaining participants would get selected. This means that we did not utilize our right to vote.

Instead, we should come forward and take active participation. This does not mean we get into politics. We.

Should enquire about our local candidate. If he is inactive and indulging in wrong activities then we should bring the matter known to the higher officials.

This way we could practice our democratic rights efficiently.

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.

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.

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.

Hello, everyone!

As a young voter of this developing country, I am in Favour of NOTA because I want to see my country as a developed country as soon as possible. And this can only happen if the deserving and educated candidates rule our country, using their skillful brains towards the betterment of our country. No body wants to waste their vote on an undeserving and ungrateful candidate. So every citizen should be given freedom to express their acceptance or denial by using NOTA.

Rome wasn't built in a day. It took time. In the same way, NOTA will take the time to uproot the corrupt politicians and free India from corruption.

Thank you!

Yes, NOTA should be there in elections. If there is no such choice then citizens who do not want to vote any candidate will not come to elections and it will result in a decrease in participation of citizens in elections as election commission has to look at how many citizens are voting. Like if we have 100 citizens and there are two candidates A and B if 30 vote for A and 20 for B and 50 don't come for voting, it will look like only 50 percent people participated in election whereas if there would be a NOTA option then 30 for A, 20 for B and 50 can be NOTA but the election participation will be 100 percent and it is good for a democracy.

NOTA is a very good concept derived by some activist. None of the above is definitely going to play a very important role in future politics. People can choose and at the same time, they can opt for none. This is the real power of democracy. India which is a democratic country but some politician is ruling the nation because we have to choose somebody. Now with NOTA, we can discard and demand some new faces and can select them.

Leaders are made by their work, by their ability, by their efforts and intention to work for people, but in India, leaders are decided by party tickets. With the help of NOTA, these all things can be controlled.
