If all citizens can vote but there is only one candidate, why will the election be incompletely democratic?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because there will be no real electoral choice

Correct answer: C, because there will be no real electoral choice. Voting rights are an important condition of democracy, but they are not sufficient by themselves. An election also requires meaningful alternatives so that citizens can compare candidates and decide whom to support. If only one candidate is available, voters may be allowed to cast a ballot, yet they cannot choose between competing programmes or replace the candidate through an ordinary contest. Option C is correct. A is wrong because the number of names on the voters’ list is unrelated to the number of candidates. B is wrong because booth numbers do not create choice. D is wrong because votes may still need to be recorded and counted, but counting cannot compensate for the absence of alternatives. Memory cue: voting without choice is participation without real selection.
