SUPREME COURT empowers voters, gives them option to reject all the candidates
In a landmark judgement, the Supreme Court on 27-09-2013 directed the Election Commission to provide voters right to reject all candidates in elections by using 'none of the above' option available for voting.
The Election Commission said it would straight away implement the Supreme Court judgment directing it to provide a "None of the Above" button on electronic voting machines (EVMs). The button can be pressed by a voter to reject all the candidates in a poll in case he finds them unsuitable.
