how many seats one candidate can contest
Advertisement. Under section 33 of the Representation of People Act, 1951, a person is allowed to contest polls, whether a general election, more than one by-elections or biennial elections, from a maximum of two seats. Before this law, candidates could run in any number of constituencies.on't know much about politics but a person should be allowed to contest only for one seat. Any ways he has leave one of the seats if he wins both. Then what's the use of it. Being citizen of India I strongly oppose this amendment and constitution should make changes for this amendment.
