Add on option on Ballot Slips to vote for “none of the above"

Petition Details

At the last general election alliances were formed reducing the ability for voters to cast a vote for their preferred party. In elections voters may not have a Political party with a manifesto they can vote for and their vote is wasted.

Additional Information

Currently any marking on UK ballot papers that doesn’t constitute a vote in a box is classed as a ruined paper.

Sitting governments and opposition parties should have an awareness of how many people didn’t vote because they feel disenfranchised.

Introducing this option gives this proportion of the electorate a voice that must be acknowledged

Clearly some ballot papers would still be classed as spoiled and declaration of these should continue as previous.
