This authoritative compendium brings together the Representation of the People Act, 1950 (governing electoral rolls, delimitation and registration), the Representation of the People Act, 1951 (defining qualifications and disqualifications, conduct of elections, electoral offences, corrupt practices, and election petitions) and the Parliament (Prevention of Disqualification) Act, 1959 (safeguarding holders of certain offices from disqualification). The text is annotated with concise headnotes, a carefully structured table of contents, specimen nomination forms and affidavits, checklists for electoral registration officers, and a ready-reference disqualification matrix that cross-links statutory provisions (e.g., Section 8 disqualification on conviction, offences under Section 123 corrupt practices) to common judicial interpretations. Practical annexures include timelines for filing election petitions, rules on agents and polling-station conduct, and guidance on removal of disqualification and preventive notices. This edition is tailored for legal practitioners, Election Commission personnel, political parties, candidates and academics seeking a single, dependable reference that combines bare statutory text with actionable practice tools and official citations to IndiaCode.
