Petition Action

Include an option for NONE OF THE ABOVE on every ballot paper

Additional Information

The British people are not given an opportunity to voice their opinion if none of the candidates or choices on any given ballot paper actually represent their views.
A low turnout in elections is usually attributed to voter apathy, but the electorate is never given the explicit choice to refute this, and state that none of the available choices represent their views.
This petition requests that the government should include a "NONE OF THE ABOVE" option on all ballot papers, and that this choice should be counted and announced in the same way as votes for any other choice or candidate.
