- 2Public exhibition of the draft voters' register for claims, objections, and official certification
- 3Verification and accreditation of registered voters at the designated polling unit on election day
- 4Casting of the secret ballot into the official election box by accredited voters
Answer
The correct chronological sequence for exercising franchise begins with voter registration and compilation of the preliminary voters' register, followed by the public exhibition of the draft register for claims and objections, then verification and accreditation of registered voters on election day, and concludes with the casting of the secret ballot by accredited voters.
The exercise of suffrage begins administratively long before election day. Citizens must first be registered to establish an official voters' roll. Next, that preliminary register must be publicly displayed for verification and correction (claims and objections) to yield a certified voters' list. On polling day, registered voters undergo accreditation to verify identity and entitlement. Finally, accredited voters proceed to cast their secret ballots.
