block voting
Group-decides-together elections
Block voting is casting votes as a unified group rather than as individuals.
The term appears in two main contexts: delegates at conventions voting as a bloc based on majority decision within their group, and electoral systems where voters select multiple candidates at once.
The union practiced block voting to maximize its influence.
Critics argue it can silence minority viewpoints within the voting group.
