Why is an attempt to stop weaker sections from voting a double blow to democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It weakens both equality and inclusive representation

Answer: A. Democracy is based on political equality, which means that every eligible citizen should have an equal opportunity to participate and vote. Weaker sections may already face social, economic, or political disadvantages. If they are prevented from voting, their equal political right is attacked first. Their absence also means that elected bodies may not represent the real diversity and needs of the whole population. Thus, the harm is double: equality is weakened, and inclusive representation is weakened. Option B is wrong because stopping voters cannot increase polling stations. Option C is unrelated; symbols help voters identify candidates but do not protect voting rights. Option D concerns election spending, not participation. Memory cue: democracy needs both equal rights and broad participation; exclusion damages both.
