What is the greatest danger if there is no grievance redressal system in elections?

Correct answer: Reliable correction of errors and irregularities will become difficult

Correct answer: A. A grievance redressal system receives complaints about possible mistakes, unfair practices or irregularities and provides a process for examining and correcting them. Elections involve many stages, such as preparing voter lists, campaigning, polling and counting. If a genuine problem occurs and citizens have no trusted way to report it, the problem may remain uncorrected. This can reduce public confidence and make the result appear unfair, even when most of the election was conducted properly. A is correct because redressal means hearing a complaint, checking the facts and taking suitable corrective action. B is wrong because a complaint system cannot change a voter’s age. C is wrong because the absence of redressal does not automatically stop nominations. D is wrong because election symbols are part of electoral identification and do not disappear merely because complaints cannot be resolved. Memory cue: grievance redressal means “complaint to correction,” and correction builds trust.
