EC has directed that while “None of the Above” will be printed in words in various local languages in different areas, the symbol itself would universally appear as ‘NOTA' to maintain consistency.
Having finalised the symbol, EC has notified the same and sent it to the Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) of all states for them to take further action in that regard.
Consequent to a Supreme Court ruling allowing voters to exercise the NOTA option, EC will provide the same for voters in the upcoming Assembly polls and in all future polls.
