If names of eligible citizens are removed from the list why will electoral legitimacy weaken?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the result will not reflect the will of all eligible citizens

Correct answer: A. Electoral legitimacy means that people accept an election result as rightful because the election was conducted according to democratic rules and reflected the citizens’ choice. Removing eligible citizens from the voter list prevents some citizens from expressing that choice. The result may then be based on an incomplete section of the electorate, so it cannot fully represent the public will. A is correct because exclusion damages both participation and representation. B is wrong: removing names would not make the ballot long. C is wrong: the number of candidates is a separate issue. D is wrong: opening polling booths does not repair the unfair exclusion of voters. The important chain is: eligible voter removed → cannot participate → fewer voices represented → legitimacy becomes weaker. Memory cue: an election cannot fully represent people who were unfairly prevented from voting.
