Supreme Court gives voters right to reject all candidates

[Brahmos_2]

From an FB post.........

SC passes judgement that there should be a button at the bottom of EVM - 'None of the Above.'(NOTA)

BREAKING NEWS:Rahul Gandhi changes his name to 'None of the Above.'..

I don't see how it will make any difference. The human with the most votes will win anyway, right? Irrespective of how many 'NOTA' votes are cast? So how is this any different from people staying home and not voting at all? Why would a political party care, as long as their candidate wins? How would it change their calculations or force them to choose better candidates than if the 'NOTA' option was not available?

no not at all a minimum no. of votes are required to win

They copied this idea from Pakistan

and in Pakistan this idea was criticised strongly...


What Election commission of Pakistan suggested was that if the none of the above wins.. New elections should be held in that constituency with different candidates

don't know about the idea, but pakistan is going to use made in india Electronic voting machines for their coming elections.
