If a voter list contains a large number of ineligible names, what democratic concern will arise?

Correct answer: Concern about the list’s accuracy and the credibility of the result

Correct answer: A. An electoral roll should contain eligible voters and exclude people who do not meet the legal requirements. A large number of ineligible names can make the roll appear inaccurate and may create doubts about who was counted as part of the electoral population. It can also raise concerns about impersonation, multiple entries, or unfair influence, depending on the nature of the errors. B is wrong because the presence of ineligible names does not show that the legal voting age itself is too low. C is irrelevant because the name of the Election Commission has no connection with roll accuracy. D is irrelevant because manifesto language does not determine who is eligible to vote. The central democratic issue is whether the electoral base is genuine, accurate, and fairly administered. Memory cue: “Eligibility must be checked before electoral credibility can be trusted.”
