Interestingly, India’s election commission has introduced a “none of the above” option to the ballot for this election, following a ruling by the Supreme Court last year. But, while citizens’ demand for the option reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the current government, the provision ultimately will have little impact, given that candidates with the most votes will be elected, even if a majority of voters rejects all of the candidates.
有趣的是，此次印度选举的选票上有一个“以上都不选”的选项，这是最高法院在去年做出的裁定。但是，尽管印度公民对这一选项的要求反映了对现任政府广泛的不满，但这一选项最终将产生不了什么影响，因为获得选票最多的候选人将当选，即使大部分选民拒绝投票给任何一位候选人。
