Wrong spelling of a name in the voter list can cause which practical problem on polling day?

Correct answer: Difficulty in identity matching

Correct answer: A, difficulty in identity matching. A voter list records the names and details of eligible voters. At the polling station, officials check the voter’s identity and match it with the entry in the list and the identity document or other permitted record. If the name is misspelled, the official may find it difficult to confirm that the person standing there is the same person recorded in the list. This can cause delay, questioning, or difficulty in voting until the error is clarified. B is wrong because delimitation means changing constituency boundaries, not correcting a name. C is wrong because a spelling mistake does not change reservation arrangements. D is wrong because voters do not appoint an MP directly; they vote for a candidate. Memory cue: correct list entry helps prove “who the voter is”; constituency boundaries decide “where the voter belongs.”
