Increasing vote-share of NOTA in successive elections in the country proves that people are fed up with working or leadership of existing political parties. One out of every six constituencies in Gujarat had victory margins less than votes polled by NOTA. Real verdict of people can be there if ‘None-Of-The-Above is given impacting power by converting it into ‘Right-To-Reject’ with riders. Presently voters have no option other than to chose best out of worst. Even if ideally NOTA gets maximum votes, next to NOTA has to be declared elected thus making NOTA absolutely meaningless.
‘Right-To-Reject’ should at least be once experimented where re-poll may be held in case of NOTA getting highest votes. But to avoid any chain of re-elections caused by NOTA again winning the re-election in such case, NOTA button may be disabled in subsequent re-election caused by NOTA getting maximum votes. But all those getting votes less than NOTA should be disqualified to contest any election preferably in life-time. System will make political parties put best possible candidates so as to avoid NOTA winning election, and in practice will avoid any such possibility of NOTA winning in future.
