Why is buying votes wrong in an election?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It distorts the voter's free choice

Direct answer: C, buying votes distorts a voter’s free choice. In a democratic election, a voter should decide after considering candidates, policies and public issues. Offering money or gifts tries to replace this independent decision with an inducement. The voter may feel compelled to support the person who paid, so the contest is no longer genuinely free and fair. A is wrong because payment does not increase freedom; it pressures or influences the voter. B is wrong because vote-buying gives an unfair advantage to a candidate with money. D is wrong because buying votes has nothing to do with the speed or accuracy of counting. Memory cue: a free vote comes from choice, not from a price.
