Which one of the following statements is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Statement 3 is incorrect because possessing an Election Photo Identity Card (EPIC) is not mandatory for voting in India. While the Election Commission encourages the use of EPIC to prevent personation, voters can produce alternative identity documents (such as Aadhaar card, PAN card, or Passport) authorized by the Commission if their name is present in the electoral roll [3]. Statement 1 is correct as the Election Commission is constitutionally mandated to prepare and periodically revise electoral rolls [5]. Statement 2 is accurate because a complete revision of the list typically occurs every five years to ensure it remains up-to-date [4]. Statement 4 is also correct; under the Representation of the People Act, 1950, certain individuals, such as those of unsound mind or those convicted of specific crimes, can be disqualified from registration in the electoral roll [t1][t3].
