Q1. Large-scale deletion of voters from electoral rolls primarily raises concern about:

A. Administrative efficiency
B. Fiscal burden on Election Commission
C. Balance between inclusion and accuracy
D. Political party funding

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: Electoral rolls must be accurate but also inclusive. Removing duplicate or ineligible names is necessary, but when deletions are large, genuine voters may be excluded. This turns an administrative process into a constitutional issue. Democracy depends on participation, so exclusion reduces legitimacy. Hence, the core concern is balancing accuracy with inclusion through transparent and fair processes.

Q2. Delayed adjudication in electoral disputes undermines democracy because:

A. It increases litigation costs
B. It delays policy formation
C. It nullifies effective exercise of voting rights
D. It reduces judicial independence

Correct Answer: C
