Citizens must consider voting as right and duty

With reference to the article-cum-report  titled : 'Goan overseas voters neglect duty, draw blank at LS poll; Election Commission data reveals no Non-resident Indian voted in June' in The Goan Everyday  dated December 29, it would be appropriate to amend the Constitution to let voters elect a non-registered candidate from a non-registered political party to give them a better and  bigger candidate selection choice. Voters should also be allowed to list their complaints and suggestions in block letters on a paper that is put into a ballot box and conduct referendums separately at the same time as an election. It would be pertinent to enact a law to recall inefficient , corrupt and communal elected representatives and permanently scrap Nota that results in the wastage of precious votes since every vote counts. Voting is both  a right and a duty.
