01 How is equality of voters shown in elections?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. By every vote having equal value
Explanation: Direct answer: A, every vote has equal value. Political equality in elections means that eligible voters are treated equally when their votes are counted. A wealthy person, public official, famous leader, or member of a particular social group does not receive extra voting weight merely because of status. Option A expresses the democratic principle commonly remembered as ‘one person, one vote, one value.’ Option B is wrong because limiting voting to wealthy people creates inequality. Option C is wrong because representatives do not receive a more valuable vote simply because they hold office; their personal vote is not superior to another eligible citizen’s vote. Option D is wrong because giving some people multiple votes would make their influence greater and destroy equal value. Equality of votes does not mean all candidates win equally; it means each valid vote counts equally in deciding the result. Memory cue: equal citizens, equal voting value.
