What is the general minimum age for voting in India?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Eighteen years

Answer: C. In India, a citizen who is 18 years old or above is generally eligible to be registered as a voter, subject to the applicable legal requirements. This rule is part of adult franchise, the democratic principle that adult citizens should have the opportunity to choose representatives. C is correct because the general voting age is 18 years. A and B are wrong because citizens aged 16 or 17 do not become eligible merely on reaching those ages. D is wrong because the general minimum age is not 21; that was an older figure in the past, but it is not the present general voting age. The question asks about voting, not every age rule for contesting an election. Memory cue: Indian voter registration generally begins at 18—“18 means the vote can begin.”
