Who can contest from a reserved constituency?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A candidate belonging to the reserved category

Correct answer: D, a candidate belonging to the reserved category. A reserved constituency is one in which the seat is reserved for candidates belonging to a specified constitutionally recognised category, such as Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes, according to the applicable election rules. The purpose is to improve the representation of communities that have historically been under-represented. Reservation concerns who may contest the reserved seat; voters of the constituency still elect the representative through voting. A is wrong because foreign citizenship does not make a person eligible for an Indian reserved seat. B is wrong because being a judge is not the defining condition. C is wrong because being a sportsperson is unrelated to reservation. D is correct because the candidate must belong to the category for which the seat is reserved, while also satisfying other legal qualifications. Memory cue: reserved seat means reserved eligibility for the specified category, not a seat with no election.
