What is bullet voting? And why does it matter in local elections?
Bullet voting means only voting for one candidate even if you’re allowed to vote for more.
Why bullet vote?
Increase impact: If you feel strongly about one candidate, bullet voting helps maximize your support in local elections where every vote counts
Avoid Boosting Opponents: Voting for other candidates — just to “fill the ballot” — can help the competitors of your preferred candidate
When to use bullet voting
You feel only have one candidate truly represents your values.
You want to avoid splitting your vote between multiple candidates.
When NOT to use bullet voting
You support multiple candidates and want them all to win
You don’t want to risk letting less-preferred candidates get ahead
