In a free and fair election, results should be based on what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: On voters' valid votes

A free and fair election means that voters can make their choice without force, bribery, threats, or unfair manipulation. The final result must reflect the genuine choice expressed through valid votes. Every eligible voter should have an equal opportunity to vote, and the votes should be recorded and counted according to established rules. This principle ensures that the elected candidate has democratic support rather than an advantage created by money, fear, or publicity.

Option A is correct because valid votes are the lawful expression of voters’ choices and should determine the result. Money power may influence voters unfairly, intimidation removes free choice, and the number of posters does not show public support. A candidate cannot become legitimately successful merely by spending more or displaying more advertisements. In a democratic election, the decisive basis is the properly cast and fairly counted vote, not wealth, threats, or visual publicity.
