Why is showing only fear to voters in campaign wrong?

Correct answer: It weakens independent decision

A campaign that shows voters only fear tries to control their choice through anxiety or threats instead of helping them compare candidates and policies. Democracy depends on citizens being able to think freely, receive relevant information, and choose without intimidation. Fear-based messages can pressure people, silence discussion, and prevent an independent judgment. Therefore, option A, weakening independent decision-making, is correct. Such a campaign does not increase reliable information, correct the vote count, or improve constituency boundaries; those choices describe unrelated processes.

The word “only” is important because a campaign should present reasons, programmes, and public issues rather than rely entirely on frightening voters. Voters may naturally consider risks, but deliberately using fear as the sole method of persuasion undermines informed and voluntary participation. The concern is about the quality and freedom of the decision, not about administrative election work. Thus the supplied answer A accurately explains why fear-only campaigning is wrong in a democratic election.
