What is the democratic importance of election campaign?

Correct answer: It lets voters know the policies of parties and candidates

Direct answer: A. An election campaign gives parties and candidates an opportunity to present their programmes, policies, records, and promises. It gives voters information with which they can compare alternatives and make a considered choice. In a democracy, this exchange of ideas helps citizens connect their vote with public issues. B is wrong because campaigning is meant to reach voters, not stop voting. C is wrong because counting happens after polling and is not ended by campaigning. D is wrong because campaigns introduce candidates rather than hide them. A useful warning is that democratic campaigning should follow lawful and fair conduct; misinformation or intimidation damages its value.
