If an eligible citizen's name is not in the voter list what problem occurs?

Correct answer: The citizen may be deprived of voting right

Direct answer: A is correct. An eligible citizen normally needs to be listed in the electoral roll so that election officials can verify the person’s entitlement to vote. If the name is missing because of an error, the citizen may be refused the opportunity to cast a vote even though the person satisfies the eligibility conditions. This is a serious problem because democracy depends on meaningful participation by eligible citizens. Option A correctly identifies the loss or possible loss of the voting right. Option B is wrong: omission from a list cannot give anyone two votes; it usually creates an obstacle. Option C is wrong: excluding a qualified voter makes representation less inclusive, not more fair. Option D is wrong: being eligible to vote does not automatically make someone a candidate. A voter and a candidate have different roles and procedures. Memory cue: a missing name means a missing opportunity—check the electoral roll before polling when corrections are possible.
