If there were multiple candidates for one slot I would be selecting the
candidate I feel best suited for that role. But we don't have that
situation. If I do not believe that the only candidate for the slot is
unsuited for that role then there should be an option to indicate that I
do not support that person's candidacy. And it should count. Saying
that you can express your preferences but it won't make any difference
is a terrible indictment of any process.

Disagree - it is big enough. For a start there is clearly no agreement
or general understanding on what NOTA means for this election. That
alone is enough to require a restart on the vote with a more clear
ballot or indeed invalidate the vote altogether.
