- bOnly people who have a job may voteBara de som har arbete får rösta
- cEveryone must vote for the same partyAlla måste rösta på samma parti
- dEvery vote carries the same weightVarje röst väger lika mycketCorrect answer

Equal suffrage means that no voter's vote is worth more than anyone else's. Income, gender or where you live do not affect the vote.
