Explanation:

- Single Transferable Vote: A voting system used for elections requiring proportional representation, often in multi-member constituencies. Voters rank candidates by preference, and votes are redistributed to select winners.

- Proportional Representation: A type of electoral system where parties gain seats in proportion to the number of votes cast for them. Ensures minority representation but not used in India's direct elections for Lok Sabha or state assemblies.

- Limited Suffrage: A system where only certain people, based on specific qualifications (e.g., property, education), have the right to vote. This was not followed in India after independence.

- Adult Franchise: All citizens age 18 and above have the right to vote in elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies in India, regardless of income, gender, or education.
