qqp question1: Suppose a convicted person has done his sentence in jail. Is he eligible to contest in election again in India? question2: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India: I overheard in a conversation that the eligibility criteria for contesting the BBMP elections this year for a Koramangala ward is that they should not have a PAN card.
