If there is campaigning in an election but voters do not get a chance for free decision, why is the election incomplete?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because free choice is necessary along with information

Correct answer: A. Campaigning has a useful democratic purpose: it can tell citizens about candidates, policies, records, and competing alternatives. However, information alone does not make an election democratic. After hearing the alternatives, voters must be able to form their own judgement and cast a vote without force, threats, bribery, intimidation, or improper pressure. The reasoning is simple: information helps a person know the choices; freedom allows the person to select among those choices; only together can the vote express genuine consent. B is too extreme because campaigning can inform voters, although it must follow fair rules. C is wrong because an accurate voters’ list helps eligible citizens participate. D is wrong because secret voting protects the voter’s choice, but secrecy of the final result is not the issue here. The problem is the absence of free choice. Memory cue: informed voting is useful, but informed and free voting is democratic.
