Explanation:

Section 33(7) of Representation of the People Act (RoPA) allows a candidate to fight from two seats at the same time. ECI is recommending its amendment to ensure that a candidate contests elections from single seat only because if the dictum of ‘One person, one vote’ is the norm in democracy then ‘one candidate, one constituency’ should also be followed.
