DII, III and IV
Correct answer: (C) I, II and IV — The electronic voting machine, one nation one election, and the two-children norm are debated issues, so the answer is statements one, two and four.
Explanation
★The electronic voting machine, one nation one election, and the two-children norm are debated issues, so the answer is statements one, two and four.
★There is continuing debate over the reliability and transparency of electronic voting machines.
★One nation one election, the idea of holding simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, is debated for the time and money it could save and the coordination it would need.
★The two-children norm for eligibility to contest local elections is contentious because it may infringe the right to equality and discriminate against larger families.
★A single-member election commission is not a current issue of debate, since the Commission has been a three-member body since 1993.
★These debates reflect ongoing efforts at electoral reform in India.
★For NET, group the debates on EVMs, simultaneous elections and the two-children norm as live electoral reform issues.
