If eligible candidates are stopped from contesting, which democratic condition is affected?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Real competition and choice

Correct answer: A, real competition and choice. Elections are democratic when voters can choose among genuine alternatives and candidates can compete under fair rules. If eligible candidates are prevented from contesting without a lawful and fair reason, the number of available choices is reduced before voters even reach the polling station. The remaining contest may not represent the full range of public opinions. Option A is correct because exclusion damages both competition among candidates and the voter’s ability to choose. Option B is wrong because secrecy concerns whether others can discover a person’s vote; blocking candidates does not directly change that. Option C is wrong because voter age is determined by electoral law, not by the number of candidates. Option D is wrong because the speed of counting is an administrative matter and does not express the lost political choice. Memory cue: no genuine alternatives means no genuine electoral choice.
