Why was it important for Ms. Usha to organise a braille ballot paper for Neha?

Correct Answer

Organising a braille ballot paper for Neha was important to ensure that she, as a visually impaired student, could exercise her right to vote independently and with dignity.

This reflects the principle of inclusive democracy where no voter is left behind due to disability.

Just as the Election Commission of India provides braille-enabled voter cards and other assistive technologies for voters with disabilities, the braille ballot ensured equal access and participation for Neha in the democratic process of the class election.
