13. Since 2013, voters have been able to select a “none of the above” (NOTA) option if they want to exercise the right to vote but do not wish to support any of the candidates on offer. In 2019, NOTA earned just over 1 percent of the total vote. However, NOTA is not considered an effective protest vote because even if NOTA gets the most votes, it does not trigger a repoll . Rather, the individual candidate with the second-most votes (after NOTA) would be declared the winner. Voters can officially cast “protest” votes.
