How is stopping campaigning on polling day linked with voter psychology?

Correct answer: It reduces last-minute pressure and influence

Correct answer: A. A pause in campaigning around polling gives voters time to reflect on the information already received instead of facing continuous appeals immediately before voting. Last-minute speeches, repeated messages or pressure from campaign workers can influence a hurried decision. Reducing such pressure supports a calmer and more independent choice, although voters may still consider earlier campaign information. B is wrong because the campaign pause does not alter the electoral roll. C is wrong because candidates remain known; their identities are not hidden. D is wrong because counting is a separate later stage and is not stopped by the campaign restriction. Memory cue: a silence period protects decision-making time, not machines or voter lists.
