"Ticket Splitters are those who vote for candidates from more than one political party when they vote for public offices, voting on the basis of individual personalities and records instead of on the basis of party loyalties."
Reply:E. Voting for a Democrat for president and a Republican for vice-president, for instance.
Reply:E. Ticket splitting is simply not following the party line when voting, splitting your vote between parties, voting for candidates from different parties for different political positions. Say there are 20 political positions that people are running for in a election, if I vote for candidates of party 1 for 11 political positions, and vote for party 2's candidates for 9 political positions, I am "ticket-splitting".


By the way, the 1st answerer said voting for different parties for President, and Vice President, that's not possible in the US, the President and Vice-President are elected on the same "ticket", they are a pair.

BTW, in the U.S., you can't split the ticket for president/vice president as you are not voting for either office but for a slate of electors. In other words, both offices are combined for one spot on the ballot. Some states (but not all) do the same for Governor %26amp; Lieutenant Governor.





A typical example of ticket splitting is voting for a Democrat for President, Governor, and County Commissioner; a Republican for U.S. Senate, U.S. Representative, and State Representative, Libertarian for State Attorney General, and Green for Secretary of State.
