Why do voters need information about candidates' backgrounds and policies?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So they can make an informed and responsible decision

Correct answer: C. Voting is meaningful when citizens can judge the choices before them. Information about a candidate's background can help voters understand relevant experience, public record, and important facts that the law makes available. Information about policies helps voters compare what different candidates or parties propose and consider which programme matches their needs and democratic values. An informed voter is not required to agree with one particular party; the important point is that the decision is based on knowledge rather than rumours, fear, or blind pressure. A is incorrect because information is meant to support participation, not stop voting. B is incorrect because information improves transparency rather than hiding results. D is incorrect because democracy gives citizens a role in choosing representatives; officials cannot replace the voters' decision. C is correct. Memory cue: information enables comparison, and comparison enables responsible choice.
