Question

A person who was not eligible to vote in 1937 provincial elections could cast his vote in 1952 General elections. Identify the person from the following.

• A. Thomas who was 19 year old and was not educated
• B. Kumar who was 22 year old and was a graduate
• C. Basu who was 24 year old and not educated.
• D. Both (A) and (C)

Answer 1

The correct option is C Basu who was 24 year old and not educated.

General elections are the election in which representatives are elected from different constituencies of the country to represent people in Parliament which held at regular intervals. In India, the general elections held after every Five years. Before 61st amendment to the Constitution the voting age was 21, at present it is 18years. Back in 1937, the voting rights are given discriminately while in Independent India the voting rights are given to all irrespective of status. Hence Basu qualifies the given criteria.
