How does a manifesto help voters?

Correct answer: It helps compare the plans and promises of a party or candidate

Direct answer: C. A manifesto is a public statement of a party’s or candidate’s proposed policies, programmes, and promises. Voters can read or hear these proposals and compare what different contestants say they will do. This gives a policy-based basis for choice, though a manifesto does not guarantee that every promise will be fulfilled. A is wrong because only voters’ decisions and the electoral result determine victory. B is wrong because a manifesto communicates political proposals rather than hiding votes. D is wrong because voter lists are prepared through the electoral administration, not through manifestos. Memory cue: manifesto means “what we propose to do,” not “who has already won.”
