What is the most practical difference between voter ID and voters' list?

Correct answer: ID helps identify a person and the list gives names of eligible voters

Answer: A. A voter ID is an identity document that helps officials verify that the person appearing at a polling station is the person represented by the document. The voters’ list, or electoral roll, is the official record of eligible registered voters for a particular constituency or polling area. These functions are related but not identical. A person may possess an identity document, yet the name must also be correctly present in the electoral roll under the applicable rules. Option A states the practical distinction. Option B is wrong because neither item is a candidate list. Option C is wrong because maps show boundaries, while these records concern voter identity and registration. Option D is wrong because a manifesto is a party or candidate’s programme. Memory cue: ID helps answer “who are you?”; the roll helps answer “are you registered here?”
