Correct Answer: Two


Solution : The correct answer is Two.

As per the Representation of the People Act of 1951, an individual can contest from a maximum of two parliamentary constituencies in the same election as of 2022. This was implemented to prevent misuse, as there used to be no limit on the number of constituencies a candidate could contest. If a candidate wins in both, she will have to choose which seat to retain, and a by-election will be held for the other vacated seat.
