SC instructs EC to ensure enough publicity for negative vote

September 27, 2013 11:27

The Supreme Court has also directed the Election Commission to publicise the introduction of the None of the Above (NOTA) option.

As of now, there is no provision yet to count the "rejection" votes and so these will not impact the result of the election.

Activists have proposed that if more than 50 per cent of those who vote reject all candidates, there should be a re-election in that constituency. -- NDTV
