UPSC CSE Prelims

Correct Option: C Explanation: Article 326 gives the constitutional basis for adult suffrage; election and candidacy details are set by statute. The intended examination classification is a constitutional, not Fundamental, right. Option-wise Analysis: A: Incorrect - Voting and contesting elections are not enumerated as Fundamental Rights in Part III. B: Incorrect - They arise within constitutional and statutory structures, rather than inherent natural-right doctrine. C: Correct - Correct-the Constitution establishes the electoral framework and adult suffrage principle. D: Incorrect - Election-law rights are also regulated by statute, but this exam asks for the broader constitutional classification. Review Note: Judicial decisions often describe actual voting and candidacy entitlements as statutory rights; the distinction with “constitutional right” is nuanced and should be reviewed before publication.
