voting blocs
Unified political groups
A voting bloc is a group of voters or legislators who consistently vote together based on shared interests, identity, or ideology.
In elections, blocs often form along demographic lines—religious communities, ethnic groups, labor unions—that candidates court as unified constituencies.
In legislatures, voting blocs are factions that coordinate their votes to advance common goals or oppose rivals.
