What problem can occur if one voter has a name in more than one place?

Correct answer: The accuracy of the voter list may be affected

Correct answer: C, the accuracy of the voter list may be affected. Each voter’s name should normally appear in the appropriate electoral roll only once and at the relevant place. If the same person is listed in two places, the roll contains a duplicate entry. Duplicate entries make the official record less reliable and can create a risk that the person may try to vote more than once, although election officials use verification procedures to prevent this. A is wrong because a duplicate name does not create a new constituency. B is wrong because the number of candidates is decided through the election process, not by voter-list duplication. D is clearly unrelated; an assembly does not close because of a list error. Thus C gives the actual administrative problem. Memory cue: one person, one proper entry, one valid place in the roll.
