Question 1 Report

Which of the following categories of people can vote in periodic elections?

Answer Details
Only citizens can vote in periodic elections. This is because citizens are considered to have a stake in the country's governance and are therefore granted the right to choose their leaders through the electoral process. Minors (people below the age of majority), aliens (people who are not citizens of the country), and lunatics (people who are mentally incapacitated) are not granted the right to vote in periodic elections as they may not have the capacity or the necessary qualifications to make informed decisions in the best interest of the country.
