The correct option is A 18 years
In India, a citizen who is above the age of 18 years has the right to vote. The article 326 highlights Universal Adult Franchise as the basis for elections to all levels of the elected government. The Universal Adult Franchise refers that all citizens who are 18 years and above irrespective of their caste or education, religion, colour, race and economic conditions have the right to vote.
