Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Indian constitution laid down the principle of Universal adult franchise, i.e. all citizens over the age of 18 have a right to vote in elections. The concept of the universal adult franchise does not discriminate against people while providing them voting rights. Members of any caste, class, creed, religion, region, and group, are considered equal, and everyone has a single vote to choose their representatives. This characteristic of the universal adult franchise is taken from the principle of equality that prevents every type of discrimination. All the elected members of the Lower House and the members of the State legislature are elected through Universal Adult Franchise. Hence, the universal adult franchise’s primary purpose is to uphold the principle of equality.
