View question detailsSecurity forces are deployed during elections to help maintain order and protect voters, polling staff, and election materials. Their deployment must be impartial, meaning they should not favour or threaten any candidate, party, or group. When voters believe that safety is being protected fairly, they are more able to reach the polling station and vote according to their own choice. Therefore, option A is correct.
Impartial forces do not choose candidates, cancel all votes, or keep campaigning active forever. Their role is to prevent violence, intimidation, and disorder while following election instructions. Security alone cannot guarantee every part of a free election, but neutral and disciplined deployment is an important safeguard.
