Why is secret ballot considered a basic condition of free elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: यह मतदाता को डर और दबाव से बचाता है

Correct answer: C. A secret ballot means that no person or group should be able to discover how an individual voted. This privacy protects the voter from threats, punishment, bribery, social pressure or retaliation by candidates, employers, powerful groups or even acquaintances. Because the choice is private, the voter can select a candidate according to personal judgment rather than fear. Secret voting does not mean that the whole election is hidden: election rules, procedures and counting should still be subject to lawful transparency and checks. Option C is correct because secrecy protects the freedom of choice. A is wrong because secrecy does not predetermine results. B is wrong because protecting an individual vote is different from hiding the official counting process. D is wrong because secret ballots are cast by voters, not only by candidates. Memory cue: secret choice, open rules, trustworthy result.
