After reading this I first thought this was a really bad typo; But it turns out one of the biggest paradoxes of Democracy is that under-trails can contest but cannot vote.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A convict sentenced to less than two years in jail can even contest elections even from the jail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a convict sentenced to jail wins the election, how on earth do we expect him to run his government sitting in the jail? I just fail to understand the whole idea behind the person who construed such a weird law.
I would have been more comfortable with the idea that undertrails are allowed to vote rather than having murders and rapists being able to contest elections. Ok, I know you will say dont wont vote for that person...But the point is why even bother to have them contest the elections?
Also, how does it make a difference to the voting capacities of a person if he is on bail or not?
I think either this is one of the worst WTF of the day or maybe we are deemed to live in this crazy world of crazier rules.
