If many ineligible names remain and many eligible names are missing in the voters' list what will be the combined effect on the electoral process?

Correct answer: Both list credibility and participation will weaken

Correct answer: A. A reliable electoral roll should include eligible voters and exclude people who are not eligible. If many ineligible names remain, the accuracy and credibility of the roll are damaged. If many eligible citizens are missing, those citizens may be unable to participate, so voter participation is also weakened. A is correct because it captures both harms together: inaccurate records and exclusion of legitimate voters. B is wrong because problems in the voter list do not make constituency boundaries more accurate. C is wrong because the legal voting age is not changed by errors in the roll. D is wrong because the number of candidates is governed by nominations and election rules, not simply by the voter list. Memory cue: a good roll must be both accurate and inclusive.
