01 Why is a queue system maintained before entering a polling booth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. To make polling orderly and peaceful
Explanation: Direct answer: A is correct. A queue provides an orderly sequence in which voters can approach the polling station, undergo the required checks, and vote without unnecessary confusion or conflict. It helps polling staff manage the crowd and gives people a fair turn. Option A is correct because orderly management supports peaceful and efficient polling. Option B is wrong because the purpose is not to deny voters access; it is to regulate access fairly. Option C is wrong because voters choose candidates inside the voting process, not by standing in a queue. Option D is wrong because counting begins after polling ends and is unrelated to the queue before entry. A queue may cause waiting, but waiting in an organised line protects everyone’s turn. Memory cue: queue means fair order, not exclusion.
