Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Anyone who can vote can not become a candidate in elections. There are certain differences between the eligibility criteria for a voter and a candidate. For example, the required age to exercise the right to vote is eighteen years; however the candidate standing in elections must have completed twenty-five years of age. The Election Commission of India has strict rules regarding who can stand in elections. Another difference between a voter and a candidate is that of criminal history. There should not be a serious criminal record history of the candidate. For example, if a person has committed five murders and the cases are filed in court, he can not stand in elections.
The correct statement would be, not every voter can become a candidate in elections.
