Closed petition Add a “None of the above” option to ballot papers for all elections

We urge the Government to pass a law which adds a “None of the above” option at the bottom of all ballot papers in local and general elections, which we would like to be counted alongside votes and published in the results.

More details

We believe this could make it easier to distinguish between people who may not vote out of a lack of interest, and people who may not vote because none of the options are meeting their needs. This policy could allow parties to see how many people want to participate but may not feel represented.
