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.
