Answers
New Delhi: The None of the Above (NOTA) option enables the voter to not vote for any of the candidates contesting the elections. As NOTA does not guarantee the dismissal of a winning candidate, it is only a method to give a negative feedback.
In the recent Assembly polls in Gujarat (2017), Karnataka (2018) Madhya Pradesh (2018) and Rajasthan (2018), NOTA seemed to be a popular option among many voters.
What is NOTA ?
NOTA is an option exercised by a voter to specify that he does not have confidence on any of the contesting candidates or the parties in fray.
It was in January 2014 that the Election Commission of India issued a circular stating that the provisions of NOTA should also be included in the Rajya Sabha elections as the provision was made available in the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) in 2013.
