What is the first important thing in the voting process?

Correct answer: The voter’s name being on the electoral roll

The correct answer is A. Before a person can cast a vote, the person must be registered in the electoral roll for the relevant constituency, subject to the applicable legal requirements. The electoral roll is the official list of eligible registered voters. Once the name is found, officials can verify the voter’s identity using the prescribed process. The voter can then proceed to cast a vote, for example by using the voting equipment provided at the polling station. Counting and result declaration occur only after polling has finished. Thus B is an important later check, C is the actual casting step, and D belongs to the post-poll stage. Memory cue: list first, identity check next, vote after that, counting last.
