Bhutanese citizens eighteen years or older, who have been registered in their constituency for at least one year, who hold a citizenship identity card, and who are "not otherwise disqualified from voting under Election Act or any other law in force" may cast a single vote in elections. The Constitution mandates that religious figures remain "above politics," while the only special ground under the Election Act is being declared "of unsound mind" by a court, the clause is permissive of reducing voting rights through other legislation.
