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

Hai friends.

Am also agree with the NOTA because every person has there on likes and dislikes. Everyone need to express their emotion through voting. In case the nota percentage will increase with persons are need to be changed. NOTA is not considered as wastage of vote. It is uplift our democracy values of our nation.

NOTA is not just an option but it gives or can give a picture of how our political parties choose candidates which have hardly to do with quality commitment & education and all of a candidate. Maybe not now but hopefully, in near future when people will think about politicians before giving them vote it will come very handy and reflection of this would address the parties to realize that weight on caste/money etc should be deduced.

Hello, everyone.

Although NOTA may prove a good way to express one's dissatisfaction towards the participating candidates in an election but on practical grounds, this scheme may even worsen the present situation because of the following reasons.

1) In Indian democracy where the majority of votes are disposed on the basis of religion, caste or creed. The NOTA votes (in the minority) in a poll may count for nothing and even a candidate rejected with more than half of voters may win the election.

2) If the NOTA votes are in majority then the re-election process will occur which will obviously cost some time and money but that is not a permanent solution of the problem as a similar type of situation may raise again and again.

The root cause of such situation in our nation is the participation of unworthy candidates in an election which can be only solved by employing a proper system for shortlisting candidates having certain clauses such as no criminal background, or a psychometric test for judging mentality, personality, intelligence etc.

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.

According to me, NOTA button will be helpful in a way though it is not a perfect way to choose a better leader. NOTA button undoubtedly provides an option to the voter to not choose any of the nominated candidates and also increases the percentage of votes. But increase in vote percentage merely is not enough. If more than 50% people choose NOTA, re-elections will be held and I don't think carrying out the process of nominations again will help because the political leaders will again nominate the candidates based on their requirement and not according to people's interest. Reelection results might not be fruitful. So there is a requirement of a much stronger solution to improve the political scenario.

Thank you.

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,

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.

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.

Hello, according to me not as an option is not a very great idea, as no person would ever prefer to stand in long queues, just to vote NOTA, knowing well that his/her vote doesn't make a difference to the candidate he is rejecting. Would you my friend ever go to an expensive restaurant just to have a look at the menu and reject every item. No, you would not go. Same is the case, if a person is not so sure who to vote for, he would prefer to utilize his time somewhere else, then go through the tedious procedure of voting, when both means the same.

Hello, friend.

As we know India is a democratic country and every people have their own rights choice so why not in election scenario.

NOTA choice should be there so that people can give msg to election parties that your candidates are not able to uplift our country. It may lead to the selection of better candidates and our country foundation will be strong enough to progress.
