What is the most direct effect on democracy if secrecy of voting is broken?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Pressure and fear on voters may increase

Voting secrecy means that a person’s choice should not be known to people who might threaten, reward, punish, or pressure the voter. It protects the freedom to choose a candidate according to one’s own judgment. If secrecy is broken, voters may fear that others will discover their choice. This can make them vote under pressure rather than freely, weakening the democratic character of the election.

Option A is correct because pressure and fear can increase when voters cannot keep their choices private. The other options do not follow from a loss of secrecy: counting does not automatically become faster, the voting age does not change, and the number of candidates does not become zero. Secret voting is therefore an important safeguard for free political choice and democratic participation.
