Why it needs to be on the ballot paper and how to put it there. This article argues for the inclusion of a "None of the above" option on all ballot papers in an election. It starts by explaining the benefits of its inclusion. Then it demonstrates how its inclusion can be achieved through activism. It is my belief that “None of the above should be on the ballot paper for all elections. It is for people that want to exercise their right to vote but do not want to vote for any of the candidates. It is an efficient protest vote. A protest vote is one way a voter can express their frustration with the choice of candidates and or government. An Inefficient protest vote is where the frustrated voter votes for an extreme candidate. Voting for an extreme candidate could potentially cause their country a lot of harm. Instead they could tick the box beside none of the above. |
