• D. Talk about how you wish to improve the education system.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Format the machine so that all votes go to a single party.

The party in power can reject the candidature of the opposition parties. It can also remove the names of the supporters of opposing parties from electoral rolls. The parties cannot tamper the voting machines.

However, genuine election promises like improving the education system are not unfair.
