During voting, a voter should be free from what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Fear and pressure
Direct answer: C is correct. For voting to be free and democratic, a voter must be able to choose without fear, threats, force, bribery-related pressure, or intimidation. Verification of identity and checking the voter list are lawful steps that help ensure the correct person votes, so they are not the intended answer. Option A is wrong because a private voting compartment protects secrecy; voters should have access to it rather than be free from it. Option B is wrong because the voter’s name may need to appear on the electoral roll. Option C is correct because freedom from fear and pressure protects genuine choice. Option D is wrong because identity verification prevents impersonation and supports fair polling. Memory cue: free vote means free choice—not freedom from lawful safeguards.
