  3. C
    Stationing armed military detachments inside voting enclosures on election day
  4. D
    Mandating an open system of voting to replace secret ballot procedures in all constituencies

Cevap

Establishing complete legal autonomy and financial independence for the electoral management body
Establishing complete legal autonomy and financial independence ensures that the electoral management body (such as INEC) operates without political bias or executive dominance. Securing funding directly from the consolidated revenue fund prevents incumbent governments from using budget allocations as leverage to influence election outcomes.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the core causes of institutional electoral malpractices.
Identify that executive interference and financial vulnerability of election umpires lead to compromised electoral integrity.
Electoral bodies that depend on the sitting government for funding and appointments are susceptible to partisan manipulation.
2
Evaluate preventive structural remedies.
Confirm that institutional autonomy, backed by independent funding from the consolidated revenue fund and constitutional protection of tenure, removes political leverage over electoral administrators.
Institutional independence ensures impartial administration of electoral laws.
