Why can vote buying affect the result of an election?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because voters may leave their real choice under money pressure

Direct answer: Option A, voters may abandon their real choice under money pressure. Vote buying means offering money or goods in exchange for electoral support. The chain is: a voter faces economic temptation or pressure; the voter may promise or cast a vote for the buyer rather than freely choose; many such distorted choices can change the total result. Option A is correct because it explains the effect on voter independence. Option B is wrong: buying votes does not increase the number of polling booths. Option C is wrong: it does not automatically reduce the number of candidates. Option D is wrong: it has no connection with ballot-paper size. Even if a person secretly votes differently, the practice remains corrupt because it tries to influence the decision unfairly and may involve coercion or fraud. Exam cue: money power can replace free choice with pressured choice.
