Line 3:
'''Electoral fusion''' is an arrangement where two or more [[w:Political party|political parties]] on a [[w:ballot|ballot]] list the same candidate, pooling the votes for that candidate. Distinct from the process of [[w:electoral alliance|electoral alliance]]s in that the political parties remain separately listed on the ballot, the practice of electoral fusion in [[w:jurisdiction|jurisdiction]]s where it exists allows minor parties to influence election results and policy by offering to endorse or nominate a major party's candidate.
Electoral fusion is also known as fusion voting, cross endorsement, multiple party nomination, multi-party nomination, plural nomination, and ballot freedom.<ref name="What is Fusion">
