Sir,
When the desired outcome of the voters casting their votes for NOTA, that is None Of The Above, is not going to be achieved because of faulty or lack of corollary provision, what good it is to go out in the scorching sun, stand in a long queue, haggle with the polling officials to find one’s name, and to finally cast vote for NOTA, which does not serve the purpose of voter’s intention? Unless the NOTA provision is combined with the corollary provision: “If total votes cast in favour of NOTA exceed a certain percentage of total votes cast in that polling station/booth/constituency (to be debated and decided to maintain secrecy of voters and other aspects), there shall be re-election till an acceptable outcome results,” the desired effect of NOTA is not achieved and its present provision is by design itself not at all effective.
