Why are both transparency and confidentiality needed in counting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To maintain public trust in fair counting and protect each voter’s choice

Direct answer: A is correct. Counting must be transparent so that the prescribed rules are followed and authorised officials, candidates, or their agents can observe and check the process. This openness helps people believe that the announced result has been prepared fairly. At the same time, confidentiality means that the choice of an individual voter must remain secret. A voter should not face pressure, punishment, or favour-seeking because someone discovers whom the voter selected. Option A combines both ideas: transparency protects the fairness and credibility of the counting process, while confidentiality protects the voter’s freedom and privacy. B is wrong because campaigning is completed before or during the permitted election period, not during counting. C is wrong because electoral-roll changes are not the purpose of counting and cannot casually be made after polling. D is wrong because changing recorded votes would destroy the integrity of the election. Memory cue: transparent process, secret choice.
