Right To Reject
India's Supreme Court has ruled that voters have the right to reject all candidates in elections.
It ordered the Election Commission to provide a button on the voting machine which would give voters the option to choose "none of the above".
The judges said the negative voting would help cleanse the political system in the country.
The option will be available to voters in the assembly polls due in five states later this year.
"Democracy is all about choices and voters will be empowered by this right of negative voting," a bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam said in its order on Friday.
The judges said that this "would lead to a systemic change in polls and political parties will be forced to project clean candidates".

RTI(Right To Information)
The Right to Information Act (RTI) is an Act of the Parliament of India "to provide for setting out the practical regime of right to information for citizens" and replaces the erstwhile Freedom of Information Act, 2002. The Act applies to all States and Union Territories of India except the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Under the provisions of the Act, any citizen may request information from a "public authority" (a body of Government or "instrumentality of State") which is required to reply expeditiously or within thirty days. The Act also requires every public authority to computerise their records for wide dissemination and to pro-actively publish certain categories of information so that the citizens need minimum recourse to request for information formally. This law was passed by Parliament on 15 June 2005 and came fully into force on 13 October 2005.[1] Information disclosure in India was restricted by the Official Secrets Act 1923 and various other special laws, which the new RTI Act relaxes.
