Answer 2

Answer:

A  Universal adult franchise is the principle for the general election in India.

Explanation:

The Indian Constitution embraces universal adult franchise in the Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. In original constitution, constitution makers incorporated every citizen who is above 21 years of age, casting the vote in the election without any discrimination. The voting age dropped from 21 to 18 years through the “61st Constitutional Amendment Act of 1988” and it is implemented in 1989. It is a bold experiment by our constitution makers of the country because during 1947 our country had low literacy, social inequality and extreme poverty.
