Texas ballot

Read a random definition: antecedent claim

A quick definition of Texas ballot:

A Texas ballot is a piece of paper or a ball used for voting. It is a way for people to choose who they want to be in charge of their government. There are different types of ballots, like the absentee ballot that can be mailed in before the election, or the secret ballot where no one knows who you voted for. The Texas ballot is unique because you mark the candidates you don't want to win instead of the ones you do want to win. This helps when there are many candidates running for a few positions. A spoiled ballot is one that can't be counted because it was filled out incorrectly.

A more thorough explanation:

A Texas ballot is a type of ballot used in elections. It is a paper or ball used for casting a vote. The voter marks the candidates that he or she does not want elected. This type of ballot is particularly useful when the number of candidates only slightly exceeds a large number of representatives being elected.

For example, if there are 10 representatives being elected and 12 candidates running, a voter can use the Texas ballot to mark the two candidates that he or she does not want elected.

Other types of ballots include:

  • Australian ballot: a uniform ballot printed by the government, listing all eligible candidates, and marked in secret.
  • Massachusetts ballot: a type of Australian ballot in which, under each office, the names of candidates and party designations are printed in alphabetical order.
  • Office-block ballot: a ballot that lists the candidates' names under the title of the office sought without mentioning the candidates' party affiliations.
  • Party-column ballot: a ballot that lists the candidates' names in separate columns by political party regardless of the offices sought by the candidates.
  • Absentee ballot: a ballot that a voter submits, sometimes by mail, before an election.
