Answer:
None of the Above" (or NOTA) has been provided as an option to the voters of India in most elections since 2009. By expressing a preference for none of the above, a citizen can choose not to vote for any candidates who are contesting the elections. The vote does not hold any electoral value: even if a majority of votes were cast for NOTA, the candidate with the largest vote share would still be the winner.[1]
