For election to the Lok Sabha, a nomination paper can be filed by

Gives a rule that eligibility for the President includes being 'qualified for election as a member of the Lok Sabha', implying there exist defined qualifications for Lok Sabha membership which affect who may stand.

A student could look up the statutory/constitutional qualifications for Lok Sabha membership (age, citizenship, electoral roll) to see whether 'residing in India' alone suffices to file nomination.

Explains Lok Sabha elections use single-member geographical constituencies and first-past-the-post voting, implying candidates represent specific constituencies and are chosen by electors of that area.

Combine this with knowledge of electoral rolls to check whether a nominee must be on a constituency electoral roll (which would exclude mere residents not registered as electors).

Describes composition of the Lok Sabha and notes existence of nominated members (Anglo-Indian) historically, showing that most members are elected and that special nomination is exceptional and constitutionally prescribed.

A student could contrast the exceptional nomination power (by President) with ordinary candidate nomination procedures to infer that ordinary nomination is governed by election law rather than simple residence.

States India follows a parliamentary system with citizens participating in Lok Sabha elections and that the country is divided into constituencies, emphasizing that elections are citizen-centred.

Use basic facts that voters/candidates typically must be Indian citizens and registered electors to evaluate whether 'anyone residing in India' (including non-citizen residents) could file nomination.

States Parliament's additional qualifications that a candidate must be registered as an elector for a parliamentary constituency (ties candidature to electoral registration).

A student can check whether 'resident of the constituency' is equivalent to being an elector there (electoral roll membership) to judge if residency alone suffices.

Repeats that a candidate must be registered as an elector for a parliamentary constituency (same requirement stated twice, reinforcing its importance).

Compare the legal difference between being a 'resident' and being an 'elector' of that constituency using basic facts about voter registration.

Gives a precedent where domicile/residency requirements were explicitly altered for Rajya Sabha elections, showing residency rules can matter and be changed by law.

Use this pattern to infer that Lok Sabha candidature rules might similarly hinge on residency vs. electoral registration and therefore need specific statutory text to decide.

Shows for State Legislatures a clear rule: candidates must be electors for an assembly constituency in the concerned state, illustrating a common pattern of requiring electorate registration rather than mere residence.

By analogy, a student could test whether Lok Sabha follows the same pattern (elector status > mere residence) by checking constituency-level voter roll practices.

Presents a multiple‑choice list that includes 'a resident of the constituency' as a possible filer of nomination papers, indicating this idea appears in exam-style summaries.

Treat this as a prompt to verify which of the listed options matches statutory requirements (compare the MCQ options to Representation of People Act text or voter-registration facts).

Gives an explicit list of alternative statements about who can file a nomination for Lok Sabha, including options mentioning residence, electoral roll entry, and broadly 'Any citizen of India'.

A student could compare these alternatives with the actual statutory/ECI nomination rules or mainstream summaries to see which of the listed options matches the law.

States Article 326 principle that elections are on the basis of adult suffrage and that voters shouldn't be excluded on grounds of non‑residence, suggesting residence is not a general disqualifier for electoral rights.

Use this constitutional rule to infer that non‑residence may not automatically bar electoral participation and then check whether nomination rules follow the same principle.

Notes that civic and political rights conferred by the Constitution can be equally claimed by any citizen irrespective of birth and residence, indicating a general equality of political rights across residence.

A student could extend this general rule to question whether nomination eligibility is similarly residence‑neutral and then verify against election law.

Says the President must be qualified for election as a member of the Lok Sabha, linking qualifications for offices to being 'qualified as a member of the Lok Sabha' and implying there are specified member‑qualifications to check.

Use this to remind the student that 'qualification as a member' is a defined legal standard—so one should consult that definition to see if nomination requires electoral roll entry or residency.

States that voting is based on universal adult franchise and that every Indian citizen above 18 (unless disqualified) is eligible to vote, reinforcing the theme that general electoral participation is not residence‑restricted.

A student could contrast voter eligibility rules with candidacy/nomination rules to assess whether nomination imposes extra residency or electoral‑roll conditions.
