Why can impartial observers be appointed in elections?

Correct answer: To keep an independent watch on the election process

Correct answer: A — to keep an independent watch on the election process. An impartial observer is not supposed to work for a candidate or party. The observer watches whether important stages, such as polling and counting, follow the prescribed rules. Independent monitoring can help identify irregularities, discourage unfair practices and increase public confidence in the result. The observer does not decide whom people should vote for and does not replace the officials responsible for conducting the election. Option A is correct because independent supervision supports fairness and credibility. Option B is wrong because observers are not campaign advisers. Option C is wrong because their role is to protect lawful participation, not prevent voters from voting. Option D is wrong because observers monitor counting rather than stop it. Memory cue: an observer watches the rules; an adviser helps a candidate.
