Checking the EVM before polling reduces which risk?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Risk of polling being affected by technical faults

Direct answer: A is correct. An EVM is used to record voters’ selections electronically, so it should be checked before polling begins to identify possible technical problems and confirm that it is ready for authorised use. Such a check cannot guarantee that every future problem is impossible, but it reduces the risk that a known or detectable fault will disrupt voting. If a machine does not function properly, polling may be delayed or voters may face difficulty, which can affect confidence in the process. A is correct because the check is a practical safeguard for smooth and reliable polling. B is wrong: a machine check does not change the length of the electoral roll. C is wrong: it does not decide how many candidates contest. D is wrong: it is unrelated to campaign expenditure. Memory cue: pre-poll checks protect the voting process from equipment failure.
