Why is it a problem if the same voter's name is recorded in two places?

Correct answer: It can affect list accuracy and equal voting principle

Correct answer: B. A voter’s name should be recorded accurately in the appropriate electoral roll, normally connected with the place where the person is eligible and enrolled. Duplicate entries make the official list less reliable and may create an opportunity for an individual to be treated as eligible in more than one place, which conflicts with the principle that each voter should have one vote in the relevant election. B is correct because it identifies both concerns: accuracy of the roll and equal voting. A is wrong because registration never makes a person an MLA automatically. C is wrong because duplicate registration does not create fair opportunity; it can create an unfair advantage or confusion. D is wrong because the number of polling booths is determined by administrative arrangements, not by duplicate names. Memory cue: one voter, one proper entry, one vote in the relevant election.
