If a voter’s identity is unclear but the person’s name appears on the electoral roll, which step becomes especially important at the polling booth?

Correct answer: Verifying the voter’s identity

Correct answer: A, verifying the voter’s identity. The electoral roll tells officials that a person is registered, but the polling process must also check whether the person standing at the booth is the same person named in the roll. This helps prevent impersonation and protects the principle that each eligible voter should vote only once. The name is checked first, and identity documents or other permitted identification procedures may be used according to election rules. B is wrong because reservation concerns the category of candidates who may contest, not an individual’s identity at the booth. C is wrong because delimitation is the legal adjustment of constituency boundaries and is not repeated for a single voter. D is wrong because voting age is fixed by law and is not changed at the polling station. Memory cue: “List confirms registration; identity confirms the person.”
