Question

Which of the following factors is not essential for a free and fair election?

• A. The use of Electronic Voting Machines
• B. Equal opportunities to compete in the election
• C. Citizens' ability to vote without any fear
• D. An impartial body for conducting the election

Answer 1

The correct option is A The use of Electronic Voting Machines

Conducting free and fair elections is essential for strengthening democracy. For that purpose, an impartial body must conduct the election. Equal opportunities must be given to compete in elections, and all citizens should be able to vote without fear.
While EVMs are used in Indian elections, they're not used in all kinds of elections, and are not essential for an election to be deemed free and fair.
