Why is asking for votes by giving money or gifts wrong in elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it can affect voters' free choice

Direct answer: A is correct. In a democracy, a voter should decide freely after considering the candidates, their ideas, work and promises. Offering money, gifts or another benefit in exchange for a vote tries to change that independent decision through an unfair inducement. It can also give richer candidates an advantage and make competition unequal. A is correct because it directly explains the harm to free choice. B is wrong: bribery does not give equal campaign opportunities; it may favour the candidate with more money. C is wrong because gifts do not increase polling-booth numbers. D is wrong because voter lists are prepared through an official electoral process, not through gifts. Memory cue: vote plus gift means undue influence, not fair persuasion.
