SC directs EC to provide for 'None of the above' option in EVM

The court on the second aspect had said, "We are further of the view that width and amplitude of the power of the (Election) Commission under Article 324 needs further consideration by a larger Bench in the light of the (earlier) judgments of this court whereby the elector's right to be informed about the assets and antecedents of the persons seeking election to the legislature has been duly recognized".

If in a constituency, 51 percent of the voters opt for 'None of the above' option then the entire election will be countermanded and fresh elections will be held.
