single-issue voters
Monofocused electoral participants
Single-issue voters are people who cast their ballots based primarily or entirely on a candidate's position on one particular topic—abortion, gun rights, immigration, climate change.
The term often carries a hint of criticism, suggesting these voters ignore a candidate's broader platform: Single-issue voters on both sides made the election a referendum on reproductive rights.
