the nota party, in recent years also known as notavote, was registered as a political party with the uk electoral commission on 2 march 2009. it was the intention of the nota party to field candidates in every uk parliamentary constituency. the respective nota candidates would not have continued in office had they received the most votes, this was merely a mechanism to simulate the recording of a formal nota vote. the party was registered as 'nota' and not 'none of the above' as the latter is a prohibited expression regarding registration as a party name. a subsequent attempt to re-register the nota party in 2014 was blocked by the electoral commission on the grounds that the acronym 'nota' is as good as the phrase 'none of the above', the logic being that it would confuse voters into thinking it is possible to cast a formal vote for 'none of the above' when they would in fact just be voting for another party, albeit one standing on a single issue nota platform.
