On what grounds can a person in India be denied the right to vote?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is option (c) Minor.
Explanation
In India, the right to vote is universal for citizens, with a few exceptions. The Constitution of India and the Representation of the People Act grant the right to vote to all Indian citizens who are 18 years of age or older, and there are no restrictions based on income or disability.

However, minors (those below the age of 18) are not allowed to vote in elections, as they are not considered to have the legal capacity to make electoral decisions.

Information Booster
The minimum voting age in India is 18 years.

A person can be denied the right to vote if they are a minor (under 18 years of age).

Mentally ill individuals may be disqualified if declared by a court of law as incapable of voting, but they are not automatically denied the right.

People below the poverty line and disabled individuals do not face any restriction on voting in India, as long as they meet the age requirement and are citizens.

Additional Knowledge
(a) Mentally ill: A mentally ill person may be denied the right to vote if a court has declared them incapable of voting. However, mental illness alone is not an automatic disqualification.
(b) Below the poverty line: There is no restriction on voting rights for people based on their economic status, including being below the poverty line.
(c) Minor: The correct answer. Minors (under 18) are not allowed to vote in India, regardless of their other conditions.
(d) Disabled: Disabled individuals have the same right to vote as any other citizen, and provisions are made to facilitate voting for people with disabilities.
