Explanation:

You don't need a political party to contest an election in India.

They have some benchmarks for the candidates to contest a election which differs from type of election.

Few of them which I remember are as follows:-

You need to be citizen of India.

There is a minimum age criteria for every election, which differs from elections to elections.

You need to fill the form to contest the election with a amount which you get back if you receive a certain amount of vote.( You might have heard a term if any chance you are from north “jamanat japt hona”)

All the documents needed to file the election which are cross checked by election commission.

You can't be a government employee, you need to resign from the post before contesting elections.
