If voter list includes only property owners which principle will be violated?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Universal adult franchise
Answer: A, universal adult franchise. In a democracy, eligible adult citizens should have the right to vote without an unfair condition such as owning land, a house, or other property. A voter list that includes only property owners excludes eligible adults who do not own property, so it violates equal political participation. B, delimitation, means fixing the boundaries of constituencies; it is not about deciding who may vote. C, counting is the process of adding the votes after polling and does not determine voter eligibility. D, an election symbol helps voters identify a candidate or party and has no connection with property qualifications. The key idea is that citizenship and legal voting eligibility, not wealth or property, should guide inclusion in the electoral roll. Memory cue: adult franchise means eligible adults vote, not only property holders.
