The vote does not hold any electoral value: even if a majority of votes are cas the candidate with the largest vote share would be declared the winner.[1] The NOTA option was first used in the 2013 assembly elections held in four states (Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh), and the Union Territory of Delhi.
