How is bias-free administration linked with democratic legitimacy in elections?

Correct answer: Impartial administration makes the result acceptable and trustworthy

Answer: A. Democratic legitimacy means that people regard an elected government and its result as rightful and deserving of acceptance. This acceptance depends not only on the final winner but also on whether the election process was conducted fairly. Election officials must apply the same rules to all parties, protect voters from intimidation, and manage polling and counting impartially. When administration is unbiased, citizens and candidates can trust that the result reflects the voters’ choice. Option B is wrong because bias gives unfair advantage rather than freedom. C is wrong because administration organizes and supervises important parts of elections. D is wrong because election administration is not merely party campaigning. Memory cue: fair process creates trusted results; trusted results create legitimacy.
