Abstract
|
When none of the candidates is deemed worthy, the
voters' only option is not to vote at all. The community must have
the option to say, no, none of these guys. It's time to
include, 'none of the above' [NOTA] on every ballot. [1 page]

Submission Content

In a representational system only a few people are given a say
in the choice of candidate. You either vote for the person who
is chosen or for their strongest opponent. When none of
the candidates are deemed worthy, the voters' only other option is
not to vote at all. In a truly democratic system the community must
have the option to say, no, none of these guys; go back
and find someone more capable. Recall should be an option on
election day, not after the fact.
It's time to include, 'none of the above' [NOTA] on every
ballot.
