If the voter has one choice and disagrees, the blank vote would not show the voter disagrees. It would only show non-participation, no-interest, un-decided etc.

I suggest should be a blank for REJECT  or such to show not wanting the person or issue confirmed.

And you can at the same time nominate your alternative candidates.
