Election Results LIVE Update: What is the NOTA election option?
Ever heard about NOTA? NOTA, short for "none of the above", is an interesting feature of the Indian electoral system that empowers voters to disapprove all the contesting candidates in their electoral domain. How does it function? Opting for NOTA is, in essence, a voter's way of expressing their discontent with the current candidate lineup, thus keeping their preferred candidate's identity confidential. NOTA is no less than a tool for individuals to express their dissatisfaction with the political contestants and the parties they represent. This encourages an elevated level of accountability and transparency throughout the process of election.
Though NOTA cannot swing the election results, it symbolises a public outcry for superior governance, enabling citizens to express their displeasure and demand improvement.
