Vote buying is against which basic spirit of democratic elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Free and honest voter choice

A democratic vote must express the voter’s own judgment. Vote buying replaces that free judgment with money, gifts, or another benefit. The voter may appear to choose a candidate, but the choice has been influenced by an improper promise or payment. This weakens political equality because wealthy candidates can try to purchase support instead of persuading citizens through ideas and performance. It is therefore a form of electoral corruption.

Option A is correct because democratic elections require a free and honest voter choice. Options B, C, and D concern administration or eligibility and do not identify the principle damaged by vote buying. Preparing a voter list, fixing a counting date, or checking a candidate’s age may be important election tasks, but none explains why purchasing votes is wrong. The central issue is the loss of independent choice.
