Answer 1

The correct option is C The vote of an Indian-Fijian will have less worth than that of an indigenous Fijian.

Fiji is a small nation in the Pacific Ocean. It is a country composed of indigenous Fijians and descendants of Indian migrants. Until 2014, the vote of an indigenous Fijian was worth more than that of an Indian-Fijian. Fiji was not following the principle of one vote per person.
