How can voters evaluate a candidate’s promises in an election campaign?

Correct answer: By comparing them with past work and policies.

Correct answer: A. A promise should be examined rather than accepted merely because it sounds attractive. Voters can compare it with the candidate’s or party’s earlier work, stated policies, record and the practical details of the proposal. They can ask what problem it addresses and whether there is a believable way to carry it out. B is wrong because slogans may be memorable but do not by themselves show a plan or record. C is wrong because the electoral roll only concerns eligibility to vote, not the quality of a candidate’s promises. D is wrong because the result is not known before polling and counting. Memory cue: judge promises with “record, policy and practicality,” not slogans alone.
