Strengthening Democracy - A Landmark Verdict by Supreme Court

Once again Supreme court has given a landmark verdict directing election commission of india to introduce option to cast negative voting by introducing none of above button at the end of Electronic Voting Machine . Supreme court has said that in democracy there is right to freedom of speech and expression even in case of voting . The bench noted that the concept of negative voting is prevalent in 13 countries and even in India, parliamentarians are given an option to press the button for abstaining while voting takes place in the House. This judgement will definitely force the political parties to project better candidates but Supreme court has not clarified that if every candidate will be rejected then what would be further move?

I am sure now elections would be more inclusive due to people`s participation because who generally complain that there is no good contestant thats why i didnot vote will not have such claim now.
