Voter heuristics allow voters to make the decisions they want to make when

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voter heuristics refer to the mental shortcuts that voters use to make decisions when they do not have complete information or time to thoroughly analyze political issues or candidates. By identifying politically relevant actors, such as political parties or interest groups, voters can quickly make a decision based on their perceived alignment with those actors' values or positions. This allows them to make decisions they want to make even when they lack comprehensive knowledge about political issues or candidates. A and B are incorrect because relying solely on class background or lacking information can lead to inaccurate or biased decision-making. D is incorrect because voter heuristics are specifically used when voters are not necessarily well informed about politics.
