121. What is the Representation of the People Act and its constitutional basis?
The Representation of the People Act (RPA) is a law in India that governs the conduct of elections to the Parliament and State Legislatures. It has two main parts: the 1950 Act, which deals with allocation of seats and electoral rolls, and the 1951 Act, which specifies the conduct of elections, qualifications, and offenses. The constitutional basis lies in Article 324 of the Constitution, which vests the superintendence, direction, and control of elections in the Election Commission of India (ECI). Part XV of the Constitution also deals with elections.
