As we india is a Democratic country..have fundamental laws according to which a citizen can give votes..
Instances are:
1.He/she must have be a citizen of india so only he/she can give vote.
2.Must posses a 18yrs or above of age.
in democracy, everyone is equal. constitution has granted Universal Adult Franchise i.e right to vote should be given to everyone, who is above 18 years without any discrimination on the basis of caste, colour, religion, region or language. Universal adult franchise is based on 'One Man One Vote'. It was the most courageous step of the Constitution framers, as most Indians were illiterate and poor at that time.
the people of India cast their votes and elected representatives for a fixed period. represent it is Gandhi government according to the wishes of the people. If the elected representatives do not do so, people do not vote for them in the next election. people also keep close watch on the activities of the representation to cut their rights, as granted by the constitution.
This is how the right to vote is granted in the democracy.
