Why are money power and muscle power together considered an electoral threat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Both influence voter free will in different ways

Correct answer: A. Free elections require voters to choose without bribery, pressure, threats, or violence. Money power may influence people through gifts, payments, or the promise of material benefits. Muscle power may influence them through intimidation, coercion, violence, or the fear of harm. These methods are different, but both interfere with a voter’s free will and can give an unfair advantage to a candidate or party. Option A is correct because it identifies the common democratic harm while recognising that the methods differ. Option B is wrong because correcting voter lists is an administrative task, not a result of money or muscle power. Option C is wrong because intimidation and improper spending do not protect the secrecy of the ballot. Option D is wrong because such influence threatens, rather than strengthens, the independence of election administration. Memory cue: money can tempt; muscle can frighten; both can distort free choice.
