Question 1HardLevel 53
Threatening a voter in elections is against which basic condition?
Correct answer: A
Threatening a voter may prevent the voter from choosing according to their real preference. Therefore, it violates the basic condition of free voting. A secret ballot protects the privacy of the vote, whereas a threat directly affects the voter’s freedom of choice. Exam tip: Free and fair elections require voters to make decisions without fear or pressure.
How is security of voting machines linked with credibility of results?
Correct answer: A
Secure storage, sealing and monitoring of voting machines reduce the possibility of unauthorised tampering with votes. Therefore, the counted result is more likely to reflect the voters’ actual choice and is seen as credible. Security does not automatically give extra votes to any candidate, so option B is incorrect. Exam tip: Link free and fair elections with secrecy of voting, secure machines and impartial counting.
