How can an election be undemocratic even with high voter turnout?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: If voters vote under fear or pressure

Correct answer: A, if voters vote under fear or pressure. Voter turnout tells us how many people cast ballots, but it does not by itself tell us whether they chose freely. A high turnout can occur when people are threatened, forced, bribed, intimidated, or otherwise prevented from considering alternatives independently. Democratic elections require free choice as well as participation. Option A is correct because pressure destroys the freedom and authenticity of the vote. Option B is wrong: declaring results is a normal part of an election, provided the process is lawful. Option C is wrong: accurate counting protects the recorded votes but cannot repair coercion before voting. Option D is wrong because several candidates do not guarantee freedom; candidates may still compete in an atmosphere of fear. Memory cue: turnout measures participation; freedom measures democracy.
