Question

A college student wants to contest elections for a place in her city's Muncipal Corporation as a Councillor. Which of these conditions would not have any impact on her eligibility for the elections?

• A. Her name is enrolled in the voters' list of her ward area.
• B. She is 26 years old.
• C. She is not a member of a political party.
• D. She is the treasurer of her college's student body.

Answer 1

The correct option is C She is not a member of a political party.

The membership of a political party does not play any role in determining the eligibility of a person to contest Municipal elections. The relevant factors are the candidate's age, presence in the voters' list, state residence, and absence of any office of profit under the government.
