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 detailsAn election is fair only when voters can make their choices freely and receive information without being forced. Explaining a candidate’s policy, holding a peaceful debate, and releasing a manifesto are legitimate ways of presenting ideas. They allow voters to compare programmes and decide according to their own judgment. Threatening voters or offering them money is different because it uses fear or an improper reward to control the decision. Therefore, option D is correct.
A threat can make a person vote against their wishes, while a bribe replaces public choice with personal gain or pressure. Both methods damage equality and genuine competition. A policy explanation may persuade, but persuasion through reasons is not the same as coercion or corruption. The question asks for an unfair method, so “giving threat or bribe” is the only choice that directly violates free voting.
