Implement "None of the above" on ballots in all United Kingdom elections #NOTAUK

Petition Details

I urge the UK Government to permanently adopt "None of the above" on all ballots starting with the next general election, to enhance democratic choice and allow voters to express dissatisfaction. If NOTA wins most votes, consider rerunning the election, possibly with initial candidates disqualified.

Additional Information

The introduction of NOTA is not just a political decision; it is a strategic move that could reconnect with over 30% of registered electors who do not turnout at elections, stimulate higher voter registration, and offer a valuable alternative to the act of spoiling ballots. This may rekindle the interest of disillusioned voters, and deliver diverse electoral outcomes throughout the United Kingdom. By implementing NOTA, we can give a voice to those seeking reform and a ray of hope for the future.
