Nomination for Lok Sabha elections

According to the Representation of the People Act, 1951, a nomination paper for Lok Sabha elections can be filed by any citizen of India whose name appears in the electoral roll of a constituency. The candidate must be enrolled as a voter in a constituency, though not necessarily the constituency from which they contest. Option (a) includes non-citizens. Option (b) is too restrictive as the candidate need not be a resident of the constituency; they must only be enrolled as a voter somewhere. Option (d) is incomplete as not every Indian citizen can file nomination—they must be enrolled on the electoral roll. Option (c) correctly identifies the requirement that the filer's name must appear in the electoral roll of some constituency. > Nomination Filer = Citizen on Electoral Roll (Not Necessarily Candidate's Constituency).

Answer: (c).
