Closed Add a "None of the above" option for General Elections

Closed on

I would like the addition of another vote box included on the ballot papers for General Elections, in addition to the list of candidates, which enables voters the option to vote for none of the candidates but still register a formal and valid vote.

I suspect many people like myself are fed up with the choices available, who do not represent my views or interests.

This option will allow disengaged voters to register a valid vote taking an active part in the election process, and should help reduce the risk of residents not bothering turn out for elections.
