Why is there no excitement of elections? (lemm.ee)

The voter turnout dropped heavily in the first phase when compared to previous elections. What is exactly happening? Are people losing faith in democracy? Or they are getting lazy thinking "aayega to modi hi"? Whatever it is, it's dangerous for democracy and must be fixed.

Will read.

Nota is just irrelevant and should be fixed, even if 99% vote for it, the candidate who got most of the remaining 1% will win (doesn't make sense).

That's only half of what is wrong with NOTA. The other half is that the voters who use NOTA are more likely to be the educated and mindful ones... and the party that was in power when NOTA was implemented, wanted such voters to squander their votes.

ven if 99% vote for it, the candidate who got most of the remaining 1% will win (doesn’t make sense). I NOTA wins I think the seat should be vacated for that term.
