Yes, voters should be given a NOTA choice,

Even NOTA option would not impact the results of the elections. The NOTA options on EVMs has no electoral value. If the maximum number of votes cast is for NOTA, the candidate getting the most of the remaining votes would be declared a winner. Still, NOTA is a good choice because negative votes show that no one candidate is good or clean. All candidates are involved in corruption. Due to negative votes political party force to opt clean candidates for election.

Yes, voter should be given Nota option to choose. It will certainly disqualify the corrupted candidates. Having over 50% Nota should lead to re-election and the candidates should not be allowed to contest anymore.

No, I am not in the favor that NOTA option should be in the electric voting machine. It has no significance I think, it is just the option which makes people choose none of the above candidate, who are not capable of being a good leader ahead, or who will not be able to make state or country a good economy.

- Many of the people choose the NOTA option. Apart from this, they know that if the NOTA is given 70% votes and the rest got the left 30% votes, then the candidate who got just 30% of the total votes will be the winner. Then what is the overall effect?- Nothing. By choosing NOTA, the voters only shows their angriness and dis-satisfaction about the elected candidate. There is nothing happen if the option NOTA is made in the voting machine.

1. Sometimes voter hopes to that person who really care about them and who make something for general people.

2. But sometimes voter gives vote only for NOTA.

3. SO I concluded all voters are not same that's why we can't say it's wrong. Finally, it's all depends on priority.

4. I think who really change N develop our status those requirements. Vite.

Hey,

I think voters should be given a NOTA choice because it shows the candidates that some people just don't find them correct candidate that they can really do something for citizens. It is necessary option to add NOTA choice to voters.

Thanks!

The highest NOTA voted candidate should be barred to participate in next election.

I am writing against the motion, that NOTA shouldn't be an alternative in elections, reasons been:

1. If someone is not supporting anyone in the elections, then he/she can opt for NOTA. But who would care to stand in long queues, just to opt for NOTA. He/She could simply skip the election and won't come to vote. In this manner also, he/she is indirectly supporting NOTA. Besides this, such activity will degrade the active participation of voters in elections.

2. Cost of conducting elections is too high, moreover the inconvenience caused to voters can't be ignored. If NOTA is there then, there are chances that no candidate will emerge as a winner, and the elections will have to be conducted again. Imagine the loss in terms of money and time if this scenario is repeated more than once.

3. NOTA option may be taken as a fun option for many people. They will cast their vote to NOTA just for their entertainment. It will lead to unfair voting process.

4. Providing NOTA will not encourage people to listen to the proposals of the candidate who's going to contest the elections. The voter may have an advanced mindset to remain neutral and hence, will discourage active participation of voters in elections.

Thanks!
