Line 1: #REDIRECT [[Truncation]] {{Main\|Truncated ballot}}An "undervote" is when a voter doesn’t rank all candidates, and all of their ranked candidates are eliminated during the round-by-round count. Also known as "voluntary abstention", this is the most common source of inactive votes. The ballot is often referred to as a "'''truncated ballot'''". In cases where a voter has ranked only candidates that did not make it to the final round of counting, it is only then that the voter's ballot is said to have been exhausted.
