Why is buying votes wrong in a democratic election?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It affects free choice

Direct answer: B, buying votes affects the voter's free choice. In a democracy, an eligible voter should decide after considering the candidates, their ideas, and their work, without fear, pressure, or an improper reward. Giving money or goods in exchange for a vote can make a person vote for the giver rather than according to their own judgment. This makes the election unfair and weakens political equality. A is wrong because payment does not make a voter more independent; it puts pressure on the decision. B is correct because it influences the voter's choice. C is wrong because vote buying has no role in counting votes. D is wrong because it may actually help a powerful candidate and does not necessarily strengthen the opposition. Memory cue: a free vote means a choice without force, fear, or bribery.
