Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ticket-splitting refers to the practice of voting for candidates from different political parties in the same election. This is a common phenomenon in countries with a multi-party system, where voters may not have complete loyalty to any one party and make their choices based on a range of issues and factors. Strategic voting (A) is a different concept where voters are motivated by the desire to achieve a specific outcome, such as preventing a particular candidate from winning. Straight-ticket voting (C) is the opposite of ticket-splitting, where voters choose all the candidates from one party. Party-line voting (D) is a synonymous term for straight-ticket voting.
