Some of those who voted YES had this to say
• Yes. It is a must for every Nagas as one cannot sell off ones most precious voting rights to elect a person without principal or character as was done in the past. Let us exercise our voting right consciously and elect our leaders whom we could respect and trust. Don’t elect the so called leaders who have been elected with money and muscle power like in the past. They cannot lead us not do anything good for the Nagas. Let us bring transformation and change in our society by electing people who are honest and who really love the Nagas. Reject the corrupt leaders.
• Yes. Cause human being need clean society.
• Yes. I already made the pledge because I believe in one man one vote.
• I believe in the power of youth (especially) and the emerging trends of resurgence towards positive attitude. To pledge for clean election is not a right but a responsibility and it has to be a collective responsibility beginning with shedding our 'selfishness'... or else the pledge will just remain a pledge in black and white. Well, no power on earth can stop the coming together of clean minds as the "coming community." We will not only see clean election but a clean and corrupt free society. Towards this desirable end...I pledge for clean election.
• Yes. it invite God's wrath in Nagaland
• Yes it may be a small step but an important one. Tiny drops of water makes a mighty ocean. We keep dreaming and waiting for big changes to come, but it has not come and it will not come because changes comes in small doses.
• Yes. Not only individuals but villages must also pledge to be part of the Clean Election campaign. In many Naga villages there is a practice of mass voting, so unless the village pledge in clean elections this practice will not be good.
Some of those who voted NO had this to say
• No. naah!! sorry. I have my own right and no one can make me change what i think is right by any pledge or by any plead/coercion. Thanks but no thank you.
• Not at all. It’s a waste of time.
• We are only good in talking but not good in doing things. Unless the system changes nothing will change at all.
• No. I dont think we Nagas are ready for it. It is premature because we have not done our homework. We have become selfish and very divided.
Some of those who voted OTHERS had this to say
• I wish the response was better than this. I have this feeling that the lack of response for the call to challenge the corruption and misgovernance taking place in our land actually shows that the people are yet to renounce their mindsets. Clean election being one.
• Right to vote is my political right. In order to clean the system, one has to begin somewhere. It begins with utilising our political right by pledging clean election in true spirit.
• It a noble idea and a much needed one. I hope it does not become a fashion statement in our state. We are fond of saying big things but we rarely implement them. We are poor implementers.
• If NBCC means business, they must encourage all their pastors to give regular sermons on Clean elections during the Sunday devotion service. They should also ask their pastors to keep away from canvassing during elections.
