GUWAHATI: This election, a total of 1,78,353 voters across the 14 Lok Sabha constituencies of the state cast their votes on NOTA, which is more than the total number of voters in 72 of the 126 assembly segments and equal to number of voters in Karimganj (south) assembly constituency.
The total NOTA votes of the 14 seats account for 0.99% of the total votes polled, which is higher than the vote share of West Bengal’s ruling party, Trinamool Congress (0.41%), CPI (0.17%), CPM (0.23%), NCP (0.06%) and AIFB (0.03%). In 2014, 1.47 lakh NOTA votes were cast in the state.
Dibrugarh constituency, where sitting BJP MP Rameswar Teli has retained the seat with the highest winning margin in the state, has also the highest number of NOTA votes—21,288, which is 2.1% of the total votes polled. Dhubri registered the lowest percentage, 0.53%, of NOTA votes.
Apart from Dibrugarh, the percentage of NOTA votes polled is more than 1% in seven other constituencies—Autonomous District, Jorhat, Kaliabor, Kokrajhar, Lakhimpur, Mangaldai and Tezpur.
In Nagaon constituency, which BJP lost after 20 years, Pradyut Bordoloi of Congress defeated the BJP candidate Rupak Sharma by a slender margin of 16,752 votes, which is just about 6,000 votes more than the NOTA votes cast in the constituency.
The percentage of NOTA votes is only lower than the vote share of BJP (36.05%), Congress (35.44%), AGP (8.23%), AIUDF (7.8%) and BPF (2.48%).
