Why is the chain of custody of machines important between polling and counting?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It strengthens validity and security of the result

Correct answer: A, because a documented chain of custody strengthens the security and credibility of the result. From the close of polling until counting, election machines must be sealed, transported, stored, and opened according to prescribed procedures. Records of who handled them, when, and under what safeguards help show that the machines were not improperly accessed or changed. This does not mean that the chain alone proves every result; it is an important control that protects the integrity of the process. A is correct. B is wrong because electoral rolls list voters and are not deleted through machine custody. C is wrong because custody begins after polling and does not extend campaigning. D is wrong because candidate age is governed by election law, not storage records. Memory cue: custody means controlled handling from polling to counting.
