Which of the following is not a provision of the Representation of the People Act, 1950 ?

  • A.Qualifications and disqualifications for membership of Parliament and State Legislatures
  • B.Allocation of seats in the House of the People, the State Legislative Assemblies and the State Legislative Councils
  • C.Delimitation of Parliamentary, Assembly Constituencies
  • D.Local authorities for purposes of elections to the State Legislative Councils

Answer: A

The provision not found in the 1950 Act is Qualifications and disqualifications for membership of Parliament and State Legislatures.

The Representation of the People Act, 1950 deals with the preliminaries of elections: allocation of seats in the Lok Sabha, Legislative Assemblies and Legislative Councils, delimitation of constituencies, local authorities that elect members to Legislative Councils, and the preparation of electoral rolls.

Qualifications and disqualifications for membership, along with the conduct of elections, corrupt practices and election disputes, are in the Representation of the People Act, 1951. The other three options are all subjects of the 1950 Act.
