By amending which Article of Indian Constitution the voting age of elections to the Lok Sabha was reduced from 21 years to 18 years ?
Answer: C
The article amended was Article 326.
Article 326 provides that elections to the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies are held on the basis of adult suffrage. The 61st Amendment Act, 1988 amended it to lower the voting age from 21 years to 18 years, with effect from 1989.
Article 324 vests the superintendence of elections in the Election Commission. Article 325 provides a single general electoral roll and bars exclusion on grounds of religion, race, caste or sex. Article 327 lets Parliament make laws on elections. None of them sets the voting age.
