If a citizen's vote is counted lower because of profession what is it against?

Correct answer: Equal vote value

In a democratic election, a citizen’s vote has equal value regardless of the work that person does. A teacher, farmer, worker, businessperson, officer, or unemployed citizen may have different occupations, but occupation does not create a higher or lower class of voter. Equal political status is a basic part of democratic citizenship.

If officials count a citizen’s vote less because of profession, they are violating the principle of equal vote value. Therefore choice A is correct. The other choices refer to parts of the election process, such as campaigning, the polling place, or a manifesto; none identifies the equality principle being violated. The problem is unequal treatment of a citizen’s vote.
