If claims for adding names to the voters' list are accepted without verification what risk may arise?

Correct answer: Ineligible names may enter the list

Direct answer: A is correct. A voters’ list should contain people who are eligible to vote in that constituency. Verification checks important details such as whether the person is eligible and belongs to the relevant area. If every claim is accepted without checking, an ineligible or duplicate name may enter the roll. This can reduce the accuracy and fairness of the election and may create confusion at the polling station. A is correct because it describes the direct risk. B is not necessary: accepting names without verification does not automatically remove all eligible voters. C is wrong because checking names does not redraw constituency boundaries; demarcation is a separate process. D is wrong because a doubtful entry does not cancel a reserved seat. Memory cue: verify the person, area and eligibility before adding a name.
