What may happen to democracy if citizens lose trust in polling and counting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The legitimacy of elections may weaken

Correct answer: A. Elections do more than record votes; they also provide a recognised and peaceful way to choose representatives. Citizens must believe that polling was genuine and that votes were counted according to the rules. If that confidence disappears, people may doubt the result, question the authority of elected representatives, refuse to accept outcomes, or participate less in future elections. This weakens the legitimacy of the election and can harm democratic accountability. Option B is wrong because distrust does not automatically change the legal voting age. Option C is wrong because a loss of confidence does not automatically amend the Constitution. Option D is wrong because candidates do not automatically disappear. The exact effect can vary, so the careful statement is that electoral legitimacy may weaken. Memory cue: trusted process gives accepted results; distrust weakens legitimacy.
