Why is the watchdog role of media important for fair elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it can bring issues and irregularities to the public

Answer: A. In a democracy, citizens need reliable information to judge parties, candidates, promises, and the conduct of an election. A watchdog media reports public issues and may investigate or highlight irregularities, misuse of power, intimidation, or violations of rules. Public reporting can create accountability because authorities and candidates know that their actions may be examined by citizens. A does not mean every media report is automatically correct; information should still be checked. B is wrong because the election authority, not the media, formally declares results. C is wrong because media organisations do not cast citizens’ votes. D is wrong because voter lists are prepared and managed through the election system, not removed by the media. Memory cue: watchdog media informs the public and watches power.
