Vote splitting: Difference between revisions

A '''split vote''', or '''vote splitting''', occurs in an [[election]] when a voter supports more than one candidate but is unable to express their endorsement on the ballot. As such vote splitting is a consequence of [[Category:Ballot type | Ballot Type]]. This means more expressive ballots have less or no vote splitting. Vote splitting is normally defined by either unwanted consequences or [[Strategic Voting]] but is hard to define rigorously. There are a number is criteria related to vote splitting which are more rigorous.
