NOTA and its working: NOTA or ‘None of the Above’ was one of the newest option served in the plates of voters by Supreme Court an year before 2014 elections. It gives voter a right to show his disapproval for the candidates contesting in elections.India was the 14th country to use this provision in the world. It is kind of a ‘scratch vote’ which indicates the voter's call against all the representatives. Having right to reject the leaders through EVM was one of the biggest electoral reforms of our country with the thought of getting good representatives as leaders. Because ‘NOTA’ is a power in hands of common man to latent out their candidature.
