Welcome initiative by Maharashtra Election Commission on NOTA should be adopted by Election Commission of India

It refers to Maharashtra State Election Commission MSEC ruling that should None-Of-The-Above NOTA ever get the maximum number of votes in an election, then none of the contesting candidates will be declared as elected and fresh elections would be held in all polls and bypolls to panchayats and municipalities in the state, has ruled that the order will be applicable to polls and by-polls to all civic bodies and panchayats. But to avoid chain of by-elections caused by NOTA winning every time, NOTA button should be disabled in any by-election caused due to NOTA winning the polls.

It is time that Election Commission of India should adopt the initiative made by MSEC by giving  NOTA practical value by making a provision of re-poll to be held in case of NOTA getting highest votes. But to avoid any chain of re-elections caused by NOTA again winning the re-election in such case, NOTA button may be disabled in subsequent re-election caused by NOTA getting maximum votes. Also all those getting votes less than NOTA should be disqualified to contest any election in life-time. System will make political parties put best possible candidates so as to avoid NOTA winning election, and in practice will avoid any such possibility of NOTA winning in future.
