The Election Commission in August 2017 asked the returning officer (RO) of the Rajya Sabha poll in Gujarat to reject votes cast by two Congress MLAs who had shown their ballot papers to persons other than their authorised party agent.
Before Rajya Sabha Elections, Congress party knocked on the door of the Supreme Court asking for a stay on the use of NOTA option in Rajya Sabha elections. However, the Supreme Court refused the stay, and said that the case against NOTA in Rajya Sabha elections will be heard later as a Constitutional matter.
