What is can criminals vote in india?

According to the Constitution of India, every citizen who is over 18 years of age is entitled to vote unless they are disqualified under any law or are declared to be of unsound mind. However, the Representation of the People Act, 1951, has certain provisions that disqualify certain categories of people from voting, including:

  1. Anyone who is not a citizen of India
  2. Any person who is declared unqualified by a competent court due to a criminal conviction
  3. Anyone who is in police custody and confined to a prison or other correctional institution.

Therefore, criminals who are convicted and serving a sentence in prison or are out on bail and debarred from voting by a competent court are not allowed to vote in India. However, those who are facing criminal charges but are not convicted or are out on bail can vote in elections.
