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,

However, a Twitter handle named 'We Are New Delhi' reminded voters that NOTA is not the right to reject.

"Guys, let me remind you that NOTA is NOT Right to Reject. It's a negative vote & doesn't result in re-election or changing of candidates."

NOTA has been introduced for the first time in the five state assembly elections following a Supreme Court ruling Sep 27.

"A welcome move by the SC (Supreme Court) & EC (Election Commission). This will change the trend in the future," said another Twitter user named Kay Kay Vee.
