New Delhi: Even as Delhi Wednesday recorded its highest polling percentage for assembly elections, many voters said they chose the newly-introduced None of the Above (NOTA) option.

NOTA was the option for many electors, mostly youth, who said they felt none of the candidates were fit to be elected.

"Last time I chose 49-O, which was a bit complicated, but this time, NOTA option made it easy for me," said a 23-year-old man from east Delhi's Lakshminagar who did not want to be identified.

He said he exercised his right to vote by opting for NOTA as he did not like any of the candidates. "It makes me feel empowered".
