Mahika Yadav 6 years, 8 months ago

Political rights are those privileges recognised and guaranteed by law of state, which enables the citizens to participate in political affairs and governance of the country. For example, right to vote, right to stand for election, right to criticise the government, rightto occupy a public post etc.

The two political rights experienced by citizen are:
(i)Right to Vote : Right to vote is the most important political right. It is through the exercise of this right that citizens in a democracy take part in the government formation of the country. Criminals, bankrupts, lunatics and aliens are not given the right to vote. In most of the modern state, every adult person- man or woman is given the right to vote.
(ii)Right to Contest Elections : Every voter is entitled  to be elected to the local bodies and states or central legislature. Certain states sometimes impose certain restrictions regarding age, education etc. of the contestant for being elected to the legislative bodies. This right is given equally to all the citizens of the state.
