So it basically boils down to not submitting keys in the GET request that have an empty string value. This appears to be unsupported natively in HTML; you need some JS magic to make this happen. See this thread: How to prevent submitting the HTML form's input field value if it empty

However, a pure Django solution would be to modify your filter dict to exclude keys that are null. I am not sure how you are filtering this in Django, but assuming you have override the get_queryset method; you can always do:

def get_queryset(self):
    qs = super(YourView, self).get_queryset()
    filters = {k, v for k, v in request.GET.items() if v != ''}  # Be as generic/specific as needed here for exclusion
    qs = qs.filter(**filters)  # Fire your filtering logic here; this is a sample
    return qs
