In a reserved constituency, all eligible voters vote but the candidate belongs to the reserved category. What does this arrangement show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The voting right remains general, while candidate eligibility is special

The correct answer is B. A reserved constituency normally changes the eligibility condition for contesting the seat, not the basic voting right of eligible citizens. All eligible voters registered in that constituency can vote, regardless of whether they belong to the reserved category. However, candidates must satisfy the special category requirement for that reserved seat. This arrangement tries to combine universal participation by voters with improved representation of a historically underrepresented group. A is wrong because reservation does not remove the voting rights of other eligible citizens. C is wrong because the purpose is to conduct an election, not cancel voting. D is wrong because a voters' list is still needed to identify eligible voters. Common confusion: “reserved seat” describes the candidate or seat requirement, not a restriction that allows only one social group to vote.
