Negative Voting

Negative voting is an option for voters to reject all candidates in a particular constituency.

Certainly this should be an option for the voters. Here are some reasons why:
1. Each voter in India is above the age of 18 (adult) and as for any other matter, an adult should be considered to be taking the decisions consciously and wisely.
2. When the Ministers of Parliament has an option to vote "ABSTAIN" in Lok Sabha, why not give the same option to India voter who elects these Ministers.
3. At the end of election this data can actually indicate how people feel about the leaders of the country at an overall level. Also over the period of time, lets say 25 years, when we have this data for several elections, it can actually be a barometer for the community of political leaders.
4. Today many people do not go to vote because they do not want to vote for any candidate, but by introducing this option we can draw more people to voting booths on the election day.

Although, this can also turn to be negetive for our democracy as a huge number of current voters may end up choosing this option (considering current image of politicians). But for this I propose this solution:
Introduce this option on the EVMs, but for initial few years/elections it can only be used in combination with other voting options.
This will give us an idea of how many people vote for one candidate or the other just because there is no other option. So we will still have The Barometer. :)
