That is a dangerous path to trek, and would lead to record numbers of vote manipulation (excluding dictatorships).
The "none of the above" should be cut-and-dry. If those votes hold the majority, the election is nullified and the candidates are removed from the next one, as clearly the electorate does not seem them fit for the position. It would also give the electorate a good way of protesting, strengthening the democratic values it should hold.
Those who didn't vote should simply not be counted. Though if it starts approaching 50%, it should ring some alarms.
