The correct answer is

61st

Article 326 of the Constitution provides for elections to the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies on the basis of adult suffrage.

The 61st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1988 (in force from 28 March 1989), passed during Rajiv Gandhi's government, reduced the voting age from 21 years to 18 years.

It amended Article 326.

Hence, 61st.
