मुक्त और निष्पक्ष चुनावी प्रतिस्पर्धा
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 detailsA free election needs more than voters being safe from threats. It also needs a reasonably level field in which candidates can compete. If candidates may spend unlimited money, wealthy candidates or parties may buy extensive publicity, transport, influence, or other advantages. This can make it difficult for less wealthy candidates to present their ideas, even when voters are free to cast a secret ballot.
Thus, option A identifies the danger: money power can weaken equal opportunity. Option B concerns secrecy, but the situation says that voters are not afraid and does not say that ballots are exposed. Options C and D do not logically follow from unlimited spending. The key lesson is that electoral fairness includes both freedom from fear and limits that prevent wealth from unfairly dominating political competition.
Administrative processes like symbol allotment should also be equal and fair. Exam tip: watch bias even in small rules.
View question detailsDistant polling booths can reduce real participation. Exam tip: check access not only formal right.
