Urban vote refers to the voting patterns of people living in cities and other densely populated areas. Synonyms for the urban vote can vary depending on the context, but some possible alternatives include the city vote, the metropolitan vote, the cosmopolitan vote, the town vote, the suburban vote, or the urban electorate. Regardless of which term is used, the urban vote tends to be characterized by a preference for progressive policies and candidates who prioritize issues such as public transportation, affordable housing, education, and social justice. In contrast, rural voters tend to prioritize issues such as gun rights and agriculture policy, reflecting the differences between the economies and cultures of urban and rural regions.
