Question

is this sentence in active voice or passive voice?
tony harvey could easily be elected in the next mayoral election.
active voice
passive voice

Explanation:

To determine the voice, we analyze the sentence structure. In "Tony Harvey could easily be elected...", the subject (Tony Harvey) is the one being acted upon (elected), and the verb phrase uses "be + past participle" ("be elected"), which is characteristic of passive voice. Active voice has the subject performing the action, while passive has the subject receiving it. Here, Tony Harvey is the one who would be elected (receiving the action), so it's passive.

Answer:

passive voice
