Question : Archana wishes to contest the Lok Sabha elections in India. What is the maximum number of constituencies that she can contest as of 2022?
Option 1: One
Option 2: Four
Option 3: Three
Option 4: Two
Correct Answer: Two
Solution : The correct answer is Two .
As per the Representation of the People Act of 1951, an individual can contest from a maximum of two parliamentary constituencies in the same election as of 2022. This was implemented to prevent misuse, as there used to be no limit on the number of constituencies a candidate could contest. If a candidate wins in both, she will have to choose which seat to retain, and a by-election will be held for the other vacated seat.
