If a constituency is declared reserved, how should its voters’ list be prepared?

Correct answer: With the names of all eligible voters

Direct answer: A, with the names of all eligible voters in that constituency. Reservation of a constituency generally concerns eligibility to contest the seat for a specified category; it does not mean that only members of that category may vote. Every eligible voter living in the constituency should be included in the electoral roll according to the applicable rules. A is correct because the representative is elected by all eligible voters of the reserved constituency, while the reservation regulates the category of candidates who may contest. B is wrong because excluding non-reserved-category voters would deny them their democratic voting opportunity. C is wrong because a voters’ list records eligible voters, not merely candidates. D is wrong because an empty list would make voting impossible and defeat the purpose of an election. Memory cue: “Reserved constituency, common voters’ list.” Do not confuse reserved candidature with restricted voting; the two are different parts of the electoral arrangement.
