Rejected petition Add "None of the Above" as the last option for General Elections.

My vote has never counted and with the way the parties are going I do not feel represented but have no way to show this. I could spoil my vote but this doesn't show intent verse accident. I could just not vote but this could be seen as apathy and not the lack of confidence I have.

More details

We have no way of measuring the difference between a mistakenly spoiled vote and a lack of confidence in the proposed candidates. By adding “None of the Above” the electorate will have the ability to show our frustration with the candidates and not be limited to protest votes or spoiled ballots. The data that could be gathered from this would be very beneficial to the parties to work out what strategies they need to take to win the electorate.
