If you are allowed to vote in a federal election in Germany, it means ...
- A active election campaign.
- B active electoral process.
- C active election campaign.
- D active right to vote. ✓ Correct answer
Explanation
In German electoral terminology, the term for being allowed to cast a vote is the active right to vote. The passive right refers to the eligibility to be elected. The other options refer to campaigning or procedures, not the legal entitlement to vote.
Tips
- Learn the distinction: active = right to vote; passive = right to be elected.
- Watch for distractors like terms related to campaigning (campaign, campaign activities) or administrative processes (procedure), which are not rights.
- In questions about elections, look for keywords like Recht (right) versus Verfahren (procedure) or Kampf/Kampagne (campaign).
- Use elimination: if a term describes activities or processes rather than a legal entitlement, it is likely incorrect.
