Buying votes through bribes breaks which basic condition of fair elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Voter's free and reasoned choice

Correct answer: A, the voter’s free and reasoned choice. In a fair election, a voter should decide after considering the candidates, parties and issues. The decision must not be controlled by fear, force, threats, gifts or money. When a candidate gives money or another benefit for a vote, the voter may support that candidate because of the bribe rather than because of a genuine political judgment. This weakens political equality and makes the competition unfair. A is correct because bribery directly influences the voter’s freedom of choice. B is wrong because changing the polling date is a separate administrative matter and does not itself describe vote buying. C is wrong because the distance of the polling station concerns accessibility, not bribery. D is wrong because a counting table is related to counting votes, not persuading voters before they vote. Memory cue: money for a vote means influence over choice; therefore think “free choice is broken.”
