No person is ineligible for inclusion in the electoral roll on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or any of them. 3. A citizen of India, not less than 18 years of age, can cast his/her vote unless disalified under a law of an appropriate legislature. Select the correct answer using the code given below :

The Indian Constitution establishes a democratic framework for elections. Statement 1 is correct as Article 325 provides for one general electoral roll for every territorial constituency, prohibiting separate electorates based on communal lines [2]. Statement 2 is correct because Article 325 explicitly states that no person shall be ineligible for inclusion in the electoral roll on grounds of religion, race, caste, or sex [2]. Statement 3 is correct under Article 326, which mandates that elections to the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies be based on adult suffrage [2]. Every Indian citizen aged 18 or above is entitled to vote unless disqualified by a law made by the appropriate legislature on grounds such as non-residence, unsoundness of mind, crime, or corrupt practices . Thus, all three statements accurately reflect the constitutional and legal provisions governing electoral rolls in India.
