In this Class 9 Civics topic from “What is Democracy? Why Democracy?”, students examine why elections must provide voters with a genuine choice among competing parties and candidates. They learn how clear rules, equal opportunities, regular elections, secret ballots, and independent oversight help make electoral competition fair. The topic also explains how excessive money power, intimidation, unfair use of government resources, or restricted participation can weaken democracy, while meaningful competition makes elected representatives more accountable to citizens.

View question detailsElectoral competition means that voters can compare candidates and choose among genuine alternatives. When only one candidate is available, voters cannot compare different programmes, promises, records, or policies through the election. Even if voting and counting still take place, the central democratic choice is missing. Competition is therefore weak because the result does not arise from a meaningful contest between alternatives.
Option A states the essential reason: there is no real choice. The number of voters does not determine whether competition exists, so option B is irrelevant. Open polling booths are a feature of the voting process, not a reason for weak competition, making option C incorrect. Counting votes is necessary for an election but does not create competition by itself, so option D is also incorrect.
An independent body maintains fairness in the election process. Exam tip: connect institutional independence with trust.
