Why is secret ballot necessary in a democratic election?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: So voters can choose without fear

Direct answer: B is correct. A secret ballot keeps an individual voter's choice private. Because other people cannot easily see whom the voter selected, employers, powerful groups, candidates or family members have less opportunity to threaten, reward or punish the voter. This supports free and independent choice. A is wrong because openly displaying a vote can expose the voter to pressure. C is wrong because secrecy is meant to encourage safe participation, not prevent voting. D is wrong because secret ballot protects the privacy of individual choices; it does not mean that the overall election result should be hidden. Election authorities can announce the total results through proper procedures. Memory cue: secret vote, free choice; secret ballot means private choice, not secret public results.
