Why is a secret ballot especially necessary in a pressure-filled society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It protects voters from fear and pressure and allows free choice

Correct answer: A. In a secret ballot, other people cannot know which candidate a voter selected. This is important when voters may face threats, pressure, social punishment, employer influence or family and community demands. Secrecy makes it safer for a person to express a genuine preference. As a result, the final result is more likely to reflect the free will of citizens rather than the wishes of powerful people. B is wrong because secret voting does not stop counting; votes are counted while the individual choice remains private. C is wrong because candidates are publicly known during the election. D is wrong because ballot secrecy supports the fairness that the Election Commission is expected to protect. Memory cue: secret ballot hides the choice, not the election.
