Why is updating the voter list necessary?

Correct answer: To add new eligible voters and correct mistakes

Direct answer: B, to add newly eligible voters and correct mistakes. Voter lists must reflect current and accurate registration information. As citizens become eligible to vote, move, change relevant details, or find an error in an entry, the electoral roll may need revision through the prescribed process. Updating helps include eligible citizens and correct inaccurate information, making election administration more reliable. Option B is correct because it states both major purposes tested here: inclusion and correction. Option A is wrong because updating the list is meant to support orderly voting, not stop it. Option C is wrong because candidates are handled through the nomination and election process, not by ordinary voter-list updating. Option D is wrong because revising names and details does not abolish constituencies. Memory cue: “Update the roll to include the eligible and correct the recorded.”
