पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option A (Statement (a) is correct).

Key Points:
• Nomination procedures under the Representation of the People Act, 1951 (RPA 1951):
• Under Section 33(1) of the RPA 1951, a nomination paper must be presented in the prescribed form and subscribed by the candidate himself and by an elector of the constituency as proposer.
• Statement (a) is correct: While a citizen can contest an assembly election in any constituency across their state (provided they are enrolled somewhere in that state), their proposer(s) MUST strictly be enrolled as electors in the specific constituency from which the candidate is filing the nomination.
• Statement (b) is incorrect: An elector from another constituency is legally incompetent to act as a proposer for a candidate contesting outside that elector's constituency.
• Therefore, only Statement (a) is correct.
• Key Takeaway: In assembly elections, a candidate's proposer must be a registered elector in the exact constituency being contested.
