Applying the same rules at polling stations is an example of which democratic principle?

Correct answer: Equality

Correct answer: A, equality. At a polling station, every eligible voter should face the same lawful procedure, such as checking the voter’s name and identity and allowing a vote under the same conditions. Equal rules prevent officials from favouring one person, party or group. Dynastic politics means political power is passed within a family; it is not a rule for conducting polling. Authoritarianism concentrates power and does not describe equal treatment of voters. Centralization refers to where decision-making power is located, not to whether polling rules are applied fairly. Memory cue: same rule for every voter means equality in practice.
