In an unprecedented move, reports have emerged that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will now include a “None of the Above option on ballots for May 11 elections.
This is might prove to be good news for smaller parties who have been demanding a change in the electoral policy for a long time.
According to details, Awami Workers Party (AWP) President Abid Hassan Minto had submitted a petition to the Supreme Court alleging that the SC ruling on elecroral reforms, including the decision to remove the ‘First Past the Post’ rule, making voting compulsory and to print None of the Above (NOTA) option on the ballots had not been executed. Moreover, Manto said that the SC decision to change the rules for campaigning during elections had also not been implemented.
:First Past the Post’ rule, making voting compulsory and to print None of the Above (NOTA)"
Could this be true? Them I am gonna vote….
— nota 😉
A very welcome decision. Now no one would sit at home because he/she doesn't like any of the candidates, but would go to the polling station to express themselves. If the number of 'none of the above' votes is the highest, regardless of percentage, such elections should be annulled.
very good and positive decision
DOES NT SEEM TO B IMPLIMENTED.
