Definition: Office-group ballot and party-column ballot?
Office-group ballot and party-column
ballot
Office-group ballots list the candidates of
all political parties by the office which is being contested.
Party-column ballots separate all of the
offices into columns based on the political party. Therefore,
one could merely choose one column and vote a
straight-ticket of
one party. This type of ballot discourages
ticket-splitting,
or voting for candidates from different parties on Election
Day.
Independent voters,
or those who aren’t affiliated with one party in particular,
tend to be ticket-splitters.
Another ballot to be aware of is the
absentee ballot,
which can be filled out before the election if one can’t make
it to the polling place (place where people vote) on Election Day.
