Explanation:

Right to Vote is a legal right. A lot of controversy arose on the status of Right to Vote, as constitutional or legal right, but all of us settled with UPSC’s interpretation and one of the rulings of SC citing this as a legal right. So, R stands incorrect. Now, when a legal right is infringed, a person can directly move the HCs, and not ECI or SC, because the constitutional guarantees protection of individuals through writs issued by high court in case of infringement of a legal right.
