Why is a secret ballot useful in a democratic election?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It helps voters vote without fear

Answer: C, it helps voters vote without fear. In a secret ballot, other people cannot normally know which candidate a particular voter selected. This privacy protects voters from pressure, threats, punishment, or attempts to buy their vote. Because the voter can mark a choice privately, the ballot is more likely to express genuine preference. C is correct because secrecy protects freedom of choice; it does not mean that the whole election is hidden or uncounted. A is wrong because votes are still counted under the election procedure. B is wrong because candidates and their identities are not hidden merely because ballots are secret. D is wrong because secrecy supports a fair election rather than cancelling it. Memory cue: secret ballot hides the voter's choice, not the existence of the election.
