Earlier, option 49-O allowed a valid voter who decides not to cast his vote to record this fact with a polling officer.
Aqbar, 25, from Matia Mahal constituency said he was not happy with any of the candidates who were contesting.
"I used the power of NOTA as I don't want anyone of them to be voted to power," he said.
The newly-introduced option also created much buzz online, with a spate of comments on social networking sites.
"NOTA option seemed very vital on Electronic Voting Machines. so i pressed it," said Manish Jhanginia on Twitter.
