If voters cannot keep their choice secret in elections what danger increases?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Risk of pressure or retaliation on voters

Direct answer: B is correct. The secret ballot protects the privacy of a voter’s choice. When nobody can easily know which candidate a person selected, it becomes harder for powerful people, employers, local groups, or candidates to threaten, punish, bribe, or otherwise pressure that voter. If the choice becomes known, a voter may fear retaliation and may vote against personal judgment merely to remain safe. A is wrong because secrecy does not determine how many candidates contest. C is wrong because secrecy concerns voter protection, whereas accurate counting concerns the recording and counting of votes. D is wrong because campaign freedom is a separate issue and does not follow from revealing votes. A secret ballot does not remove every possible form of influence, but it is an important safeguard for independent voting. Memory cue: secret choice protects the voter after and during the decision.
