There is a "none of the above" - it's called a write-in. You can write-in a blank. Instead of none of the above, maybe you mean a vote of "no confidence"?

- bawolff 6y agoThat depends on your country. Write ins are kind of a crazy idea pragmatically. I cant imagine most countries have them. Mine (canada) certainly doesnt. You can always spoil your ballot or give a blank ballot.
- crmrc114 6y agoIf I recall correctly, some states would actually throw out or invalidate your entire ballot if you do a write in. If memory serves Oklahoma was one of them.
- sneak 6y agoHow's that work in a system of compulsory voting, the topic at hand? How is making me go to the ballot box to fill in "blank" any different than letting me stay home?
- r00fus 6y agoYou are recorded making a no-choice. In the US, you have multiple elections on each per ballot card (ostensibly to reduce cost of running the election), so you'd have to no-choice all the ballot entries if you were to simulate not voting at all. ie, making it as difficult to not vote as it is to vote (unless you want to risk consequences of law).
