Plural voting (recognized, for instance, until 1948 in Britain) is another infringement of the principle of political equality. Thus an elector had the right to vote in one constituency as a resident and in another as an occupier of land or business premises; or an elector might have a second vote as the holder of a university degree. In India under the Government of India Act, 1935, an elector could vote in a territorial constituency, as a member of a recognized Chamber of Commerce and in a university constituency. Plural voting is, however, the exception rather than the rule.
