A Legislative Assembly election was held on 25 November 2013 in Madhya Pradesh, India,[1] with the result announced on 8 December.[2] Along with four other state assembly elections, these were the first elections in which the Election Commission of India (ECI) implemented a "None of the above" (NOTA) voting option, allowing the electorate to register a neutral vote but not to outright reject candidates. In a first, the Election Commission of India also appointed Central Awareness Observers, whose main task was to oversee voter awareness and facilitation.[3]
