According to the Election Commission's website, the NOTA vote share in the state stood at 2% of the total votes polled that has 40 Lok Sabha seats. According to a table shared by the website, Bihar was followed by Andhra Pradesh at 1.49% and then by Chhattisgarh at 1.44%. The Lowest Nota Turnout was in the state of Uttar Pradesh at 0.84%. The NOTA option was introduced in India following the Supreme Court directive in 2013 in the People’s Union for Civil Liberties v Union of India judgment. It was exercised by the voters for the first time in the 2013 Assembly elections in Chhattisgarh.
