What is the main democratic logic behind reserved constituencies?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To give underrepresented groups a voice in legislatures

The correct answer is A. Reserved constituencies are intended to improve the representation of groups that have historically had less presence in legislatures. In such a constituency, the seat is reserved for eligible candidates from a specified category, while the election remains an election in which voters participate. The democratic purpose is inclusion: different social groups should have a fair opportunity to be heard in law-making bodies. B is wrong because reservation does not stop all voters from voting. C is wrong because reserved constituencies do not abolish the Election Commission. D is wrong because reservation is not a rule for hiding voter information. A careful distinction is useful: reservation concerns the eligibility category of candidates for particular seats; it does not mean that every voter must belong to that category. Memory cue: “Reserved seat, wider voice.”
