If the voters' list in a reserved constituency is limited only to the reserved category, which principle will be violated?

Correct answer: Equal voting rights of all eligible voters

Direct answer: A, equal voting rights of all eligible voters. In a reserved constituency, reservation normally concerns eligibility to contest the seat, not the right of eligible residents to vote. Every eligible voter living in that constituency should be included in the electoral roll and should have an equal opportunity to cast one vote. Limiting the list to the reserved category would exclude other eligible residents because of their social category and would violate the principle of universal and equal adult suffrage. Option A is correct. B is not a principle being violated; it describes the separate idea that reservation applies to candidates. C is about communication with voters, not who may vote. D concerns counting procedure and is unrelated. Memory cue: reserved candidate, open electorate—eligible voters are not filtered by the seat’s reservation category.
