"Right to Reject," or "None of the Above" (NOTA), is an option on election ballots that allows voters to express their view that they do not support any of the candidates. This option will compel the political parties to find more suitable candidates. So, it is one of the democratic ways to highlight voter dissatisfaction that can help in political reform.
On January,2014, the Supreme Court has directed the government to provision the voters’ “right to reject” all candidates in elections.
Its been 11 years past and still the Government and Election Commission have not shown any interest in implementing this decision and the court ruling, was not implemented in the 2017 and 2022 elections. This rule will allow a voter with an option to reject all the candidates mentioned on ballot papers by ticking in a particular box set for the purpose.
So, to pressurize the Government and Election Commission lets trend #RightToRejectin2082 #WeWantRightToRejectin2082 in social media platforms.
