Dharma is a very wide concept which concerns all aspects of life sustaining the society. Why We Should Vote :- History of NOTA– how it came into being, whose idea was it..? The idea of a“None of the above’ ballot option originated in 1976 when the Isla Vista Municipal Advisory Council passed a resolution to put forward this choice in the official electoral ballot, in County of Santa Barbara, California, in the USA. Walter Wilson & Matthew Landy Steen, then council ministers, presented a legal resolution to make some changes in the ballot procedure for the elections. The ‘None of the above’ (NOTA) option was introduced for the first time, in 1978, in a ballot by the State of Nevada. In California, a total of $ 987,000 was spent in promoting this ballot option but it was defeated by a margin of 64% to 36% in the March 2000 general election. This new ballot option would have been declared as a new voting system for all elective offices of US State & Federal governments, if voters would have passed it.
