In a significant push for electoral reform, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the Election Commission of India following a petition by Shiv Khera, advocating for the annulment and re-election in constituencies where NOTA (None of the Above) receives the majority votes. We delve into the details of the petition, which also proposes barring candidates with fewer votes than NOTA from future elections for five years. Highlighting the peculiar case of Surat, where the BJP candidate was declared winner without a single vote cast due to disqualified and withdrawn nominations, this episode of #FirstThingsFast explores the implications of NOTA and the ongoing debate about the right to reject in our electoral system. Join us as we unpack the layers of this unprecedented legal challenge that could reshape Indian democracy.
