Regarding the administrative machinery, our suggestions are as under:-
1. FRANCHISE: Every adult both male & female shall have the right of vote provided he is a citizen of the country, subject however to a minimum literacy qualification. In our opinion this should be a middle school standard so that a voter is really able to differentiate between candidates for an election and to read and understand how the country is being governed. By giving the vote to illiterates, they are simply being made the playthings of self-seeking parties. Moreover depriving a non-literate of the vote will give an incentive for acquiring education.
(2) A voter for the Central Legislature may reside in any province and be entitled to vote provided his name is entered in the voters list pertaining to the constituency in which he resides.
(3) A voter for the Provincial Legislature shall however be a bona-fide native of the province or a domicile who has merged his interest in and adopted the language of the province of his adoption and whose name is registered in the provincial list of voters.
(4) A voter shall be entitled to stand for election to and be a member of a legislature provided he or she is at least a matriculate and is not below the age of 35 years for a male and 30 years for a female. But for the Union Senate the minimum educational qualification should be even higher while the age limit should be 45 for males and 35 for females.
That a member of the legislature should be sufficiently educated and experienced of the world should admit of no doubt. It is a work of the greatest responsibility and certainly cannot be entrusted to any Tom, Dick or Harry.
