Definition

The general ticket, also known as the party block electoral system, is a voting method in which voters select a party rather than individual candidates, and the party receiving the majority of votes wins all the seats available. This system is designed to ensure cohesive party representation but can result in the overrepresentation of the majority party.

Examples

  • • Full Slate Voting: Some municipal elections in the United States
  • • Party Block Voting: U.S. Electoral College system before the 12th Amendment
