single-issue voting  

Definition

  • SINGLE-ISSUE VOTING REFERS to individual or group voting behavior based on a candidate or party's stand on a single issue. It is a specific case of the more general concept of issue voting, which occurs when voters make decisions based on policy issues rather than on other considerations, such as party identification, political ideology, or candidate traits.
