Definition
- A recurring exercise in the field of electoral behavior is assessing to what extent parties' share of the vote and voter choice remain stable over time. Voters may remain loyal to the same party they voted for in the previous election or change preference by voting for another party, abstaining, or spoiling their ballots.
