___ is the act of wearing campaign paraphernalia or carrying signs to a polling centre with the intent of influencing voters?

1. Analyze the question

The question asks for the term for wearing campaign materials (T-shirts, caps, badges) or carrying signs to a polling centre to influence voters. The answer must name an act, not a person or a place.

2. Explain the concept

• Polling centre: the place where voters cast their ballots. It is a location, not an act.
• Candidate: a person contesting an election. It is a person, not an act.
• Electorate: the body of people eligible to vote. It is a group of people, not an act.
• Passive electioneering: campaigning in a subtle, non-verbal way, for example by displaying posters, wearing party colours or campaign T-shirts, or carrying signs. It does not involve direct speeches or open canvassing. Electoral laws in Nigeria prohibit this kind of campaigning at polling centres on election day.

3. Solution

Only one option describes an act of influencing voters through displayed materials: passive electioneering. The other three are a place, a person, and a group of people.

4. Answer

C. passive electioneering

5. Exam tip

When a question asks for an "act" or "process", eliminate options that are people (candidate, electorate) or places (polling centre). Also remember that electioneering means campaigning. If it is done through displayed items rather than speeches, it is passive.
