Hello,
In my point of view, there should be an option for NOTA. If there is no option for NOTA definitely people have to vote for one candidate. The candidate may or may not has the capabilities to rule the country. This leads to many problems. If there is no option for NOTA that we are means people.
Are electing the wrong person to rule their country or village whatever it may be.
If we elect any person blindly that indirectly we are supporting the election of an incorrect person for a nation. We have the responsibility of electing the right person for bright future.

Hi everyone,
According to me, NOTA option button is the right choice, but the one who is choosing the option as NOTA might be the wrong choice I think. Because every citizen in society having a choice to choose the correct person for country development, if you choose NOTA means your vote is wasting that means loss of 1 vote.
So as a conclusion I can suggest giving your valid vote to Leader, who is compared to other leaders is the best. I can suggest to government also like along with NOTA option, they must give the option like choosing your best leader in that party.

As of now, when no importance is given to NOTA, it doesn't make any sense in selecting that option. As one of my mates raised a point that if there are 100 people in a locality, 80 people are going to exercise their votes (most probably). Now, if 30 people among those 80 select the NOTA option, there won't be any healthy competition between the candidates. As a matter of fact, we all know that everyone is corrupted in the system, now the only option we have is to choose the least corrupted one. Summing up in a nutshell one should not waste his vote by selecting NOTA.

Hello everyone, yes I support the point of view of having NOTA as an option for the public in selecting their suitable leader during the election because-.
1) It encourages people to fulfil their basic rights of at least going and voting even if they are not satisfied with participating candidates.
2) If NOTA percentage increases it gives the government an idea about people dissatisfied with standing candidates to rethink about changing them.
3) It gives the public a choice and does not force them to choose a suitable leader representing them and working for them.

Hello Everyone,
The idea if having a NOTA option is a very interesting one. It will not only relieve us from selecting candidates whom we don't really want to but also give the Government an outlook of what the citizens are expecting is not satisfied by the nominated candidates. Just because we will have a NOTA option people will at least come forward to vote and not sit back wasting their votes. Not just NOTA the government should also bring up a policy that if the percentage of NOTA votes in award exceeds 50% or so, The nominated candidates must be changed.

Yes, it is right to give an option of NOTA because in today's tine everything includes in the limit of politics. If there is a mishappening is their, political party arguing each other without know the exact reason behind the scenario. Today's politics is totally based on appeasement which is not good for the communal harmony of the country and people also censure it but people have no choice to change it. If NOTA is regulated then the political parties also realise and thinks for the betterment of people and they must focus on the development of the country.

According to me, NOTA choice is the best answer a voter can give to the highly corrupted and uneducated politicians and the best way to select the deserving person. This should be introduced in our voting system as soon as possible.
This option will give the voter the right to vote as well as reject the unwanted persons if they don't feel them be deserving after analysing their previous criminal records and education.
Youth will be encouraged to use their right for a fruitful purpose and this can ultimately lead to the betterment of the society.

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.
