View question detailsIn bogus voting, a person casts a vote unlawfully, often in another voter’s name. The vote count then may not reflect the genuine choice of eligible voters, so the public mandate can be distorted. Reduced campaign time is a separate issue in the election process, not the key effect of bogus voting. Exam tip: A free and fair election requires each vote to be cast by the genuine eligible voter.

View question detailsAn aware voter can better resist misinformation and pressure. Link awareness with free choice in exams.
View question detailsThe governing democratic principle is free political choice. A peaceful election environment reduces violence, intimidation, coercion, and disruption, allowing eligible voters to reach the polling station and make an independent decision. This protects the secrecy and freedom of the vote and makes the final result more representative of the people’s preferences. Therefore option A is correct. Peace does not select candidates automatically; voters still choose among contestants and votes must still be counted. It also does not make the voter list secret or remove the need for electoral records. Options B, C, and D confuse peaceful conditions with other parts of the electoral process.
