Bullet voting

Encyclopedia : B : BU : BUL : Bullet voting

Bullet voting is a tactic where the voter only selects one candidate in hope that other voters will add enough votes to help their selected candidate win. This tactic is most secure if the supported candidate appears likely to gain many second rank votes. This tactic can effect any voting method that permits multiple selections, but also allows one selection. Approval voting, a version of Instant-runoff voting, and a non-standard form of Borda count permit bullet voting.
