What may happen if public trust in counting breaks down?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Trust in the legitimacy of election results and democratic institutions may weaken

Correct answer: A, trust in the legitimacy of election results and democratic institutions may weaken. A democratic election needs more than the act of voting; people must also believe that votes were counted honestly and that the announced result follows the rules. If counting appears secretive, biased, or unreliable, citizens and candidates may question whether the result deserves acceptance. B is wrong because distrust does not automatically make more people vote; it may even discourage participation, though no automatic outcome should be assumed. C is wrong because public confidence does not directly determine how many candidates contest. D is wrong because an electoral roll remains an administrative record and does not disappear merely because trust falls. Transparent procedures, records, and lawful review help restore confidence. Memory cue: doubtful counting damages the credibility of the whole election.
