Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Article 21 recognizes right to vote as a human right of a national of a country. It is surprising that the world’s largest democracy has no provision to recognize right to vote as a fundamental right. India has seen 18 Lok Sabhas. Constitution is amended 106 times till now and yet no amends were made in that regard. It took the apex court of the country to declare right to vote as a fundamental right by construing the sacred constitution. This paper traces the developments leading to the recognition of peoples’ fundamental right to vote.
