Isnt asking that generally considered a no no !? Asking if people
voted at all would be more acceptable, in light of the low voter
turnout in Mumbai and MH.

This time the EVM's had introduced the NOTA/protest vote option very
quietly as part of the ballot process but my random unscientific
conversations across voters from different strata of society tells me
that the voter(s) has noticed the NOTA option but yet thinks that is
not an effective way of cleaning the candidate system, instead
preferring to not vote at all if they dont like a particular candidate
which is highly surprising (and a bit of a let-down) considering that
the ballot[0] is the culmination of lone voices into a collective roar
in any democracy.
