    Views : This verdict makes huge impact on our election process. The voters right to reject  candidates is really appreciable. The political party will relook their selection criteria of candidates . The doubtful political image will harm their winning opportunity.  The criminal background of the candidates will become a liability to every political party.  Anyway ,it will improve the quality of the democracy   . One of the best judgement of the supreme court.

  • New Delhi: In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court today held that citizens have right to cast negative vote rejecting all candidates contesting polls, a decision which would encourage people not satisfied with contestants to turn up for voting. The apex court directed the Election Commission to provide 'none of the above options' at the end of the list of candidates in electronic voting machines (EVMs) and ballot papers to allow voters to reject those contesting polls.
