Nota 2019

The percentage of voters punching in None of the Above or NOTA option in recently concluded Maharashtra assembly elections has seen a rise compared to the 2014 polls.

Of the 36 political parties, whose representatives were elected to the 17th Lok Sabha, 15 got fewer votes than NOTA. Many of these parties contested only a handful of seats.

Altogether 1,78,353 voters exercised the "None of The Above" option in the Assam Lok Sabha polls, which is 31,296 more than the NOTA figure in the last elections.

Over 41,000 voters pressed the none of the above (NOTA) button in the Lok Sabha polls in Haryana where the ruling BJP won all 10 seats.

The right to reject political candidates has been gaining popularity among disenchanted Indian voters in recent elections, a trend that is starting to worry the major parties.

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Thursday batted for 100 per cent voting in polls, urging people to rise above parochial feelings and egos of caste, language and provincial affiliations.
