Why is help provided according to rules to a voter who needs assistance during polling?

Correct answer: So that the voter can also exercise the right to vote

Inclusive polling means that eligible voters should be able to take part in an election, including people who need physical, visual, or other assistance. Electoral rules may permit an authorized helper or suitable support so that difficulty in marking or reaching the voting arrangement does not become a reason for exclusion. Such assistance must follow the prescribed safeguards, respect the voter’s choice, and protect the secrecy and integrity of the ballot. The purpose is access to a right, not influence over the voter’s decision.

Option A is correct because rule-based help enables the voter to exercise the right to vote. Option B is the opposite of the purpose, since assistance should not cancel a valid vote. Option C is wrong because a helper must not make the voter change candidates. Option D is unrelated because assistance supports participation rather than stopping polling. Therefore, the central principle is equal and meaningful participation under electoral rules.
