Fairness in a democratic election is related not only to voting but also to what?

Correct answer: Campaigning, nomination, counting and results

Direct answer: A, fairness must cover campaigning, nomination, voting, counting and the announcement of results. An election is a complete process, not just the few hours when people cast their votes. Before voting, candidates should be able to nominate themselves under equal rules and present their ideas without unfair obstruction. During campaigning and polling, voters should have genuine choices and should be free from threats, bribery or improper pressure. After polling, votes must be counted honestly and the result must reflect the actual votes. Option A is correct because it includes important stages before and after voting. B is wrong because weather may affect convenience, but it does not define democratic fairness. C is wrong because a holiday only provides time off and says nothing about equal competition or honest counting. D is wrong because posters are only one campaign method. Memory cue: think “fair from nomination to result,” not merely “fair at the ballot box.”
