For "non of the above" there is the option to spoil the ballot.

60% spoiled ballots would send a far more potent message than 60%

really care".


+1

I don't think I've ever not voted and I have deliberately spoilt my
ballot once. It was just after we moved and found that the "rules" meant
our vote was where we had been, not where we were and couldn't be moved.
So we got postal votes and spoilt 'em.


IIRC every spoiled paper has to be shown to every candidate personally,
so that they can agree it's definitely spoilt.

So if you REALLY REALLY want "None of the above", it's not a bad option.
