If eligible candidates are arbitrarily stopped from contesting what will be the effect on elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Voters' free choice and competition will decrease

Correct answer: A. Democratic elections require more than the mechanical act of casting ballots. Voters must be able to choose among eligible candidates who are allowed to compete under fair rules. If authorities arbitrarily stop some eligible candidates, the range of ideas and policies becomes narrower. Voters may be forced to choose from a restricted list, and the competition loses its fairness. A is correct because both free choice and competition are directly reduced. B is wrong because excluding candidates does not make the ballot or voting process more secret. C is wrong because counting accuracy depends on counting procedures, not on the number of candidates allowed. D is wrong because exclusion makes the election less inclusive, not more inclusive. Memory cue: removing legitimate choices from voters weakens democracy even if polling still takes place.
