"Writing the judgment, the CJI said: Giving right to a voter not to vote for any candidate while protecting his right of secrecy is extremely important in a democracy. Such an option gives the voter the right to express his disapproval of the kind of candidates being put up by the parties. Gradually, there will be a systemic change and the parties will be forced to accept the will of the people and field candidates who are known for their integrity.
The Bench said the NOTA option will accelerate effective political participation in the present state of the democratic system and the voters will in fact be empowered. The right to cast a negative vote, at a time when electioneering is in full swing, will foster the purity of the electoral process and also fulfil one of its objectives, namely, wide participation of people.
