Straight-ticket voting

Straight-ticket voting is a way for people to vote in elections. It means that instead of choosing a candidate for each position on the ballot, they choose a political party and then vote for all the candidates from that party.

So, let's pretend there are two main political parties: the Blue Party and the Red Party. When you go to vote, you can choose to vote for all the candidates from the Blue Party or all the candidates from the Red Party. This means you don't have to think about each individual candidate and which one you want to vote for. You just pick a party and then all the candidates from that party get your vote.

Straight-ticket voting can save time and make it easier for people who know they want to support a particular party. However, it can also be problematic because it means people might not be thinking carefully about each individual candidate and their qualifications. It's important to make sure you do your research on each candidate before you vote, whether you choose to vote straight-ticket or not.
