As of 1 March 2022, which of the following bills were passed in December 2021?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021.

 

The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021 was indeed passed in December 2021:

  • It was introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha on December 20, 2021, via voice vote 
     
  • The Rajya Sabha approved it on December 21, 2021, also by voice vote 
     

This bill amended the Representation of the People Acts (1950 & 1951) to, among other things, allow voluntary Aadhaar linkage for voter-list verification, introduce four annual voter-registration cutoff dates, and replace “wife” with “spouse” to make service‑voter provisions gender‑neutral.
