What is another word for tactical voting?
Pronunciation: [tˈaktɪkə͡l vˈə͡ʊtɪŋ] (IPA) 
Tactical voting refers to the practice of casting a vote not for one's preferred candidate but for a candidate who is more likely to win or defeat another undesirable candidate. Other words that may be used to describe this phenomenon include strategic voting, defensive voting, or anti-party voting. However, tactical voting does not always guarantee success, and it is sometimes criticized for subverting democracy. In some situations, voters may also engage in positive tactical voting, where they cast a vote for a party or candidate that may not be their first choice but is more likely to advance their preferred policy stance.
