Answer:

The criteria for disqualifying a person from voting are:

• People with an unstable mind are prohibited from voting.
• People who do not have citizenship of India can't vote in India.
• Outlaws/criminal offenders are excluded from voting by Section 62(5) of the Representation of the People Act, 1951 governing the “right to vote”. It specifies that no person shall vote in any election if they are confined in a prison “under a sentence of imprisonment or transportation or otherwise” or are in the “lawful custody” of the police.
