Answer
- D Every person can decide without coercion whether they want to vote and whom they want to vote for.
Explanation
Free means that every person decides without coercion whether to vote and whom to vote for. Voting takes place on a Sunday or public holiday (Section 16 of the Federal Elections Act), at the polling station stated on the polling card or by postal vote. Even convicted offenders lose their right to vote only in rare cases, by court order.
