Best Answer

No. It means that you are voting for all the Republican candidates or all of the Democratic candidates for the several political offices that are up for election at that time. In Presidential election years ther will also be elections for some Senators, some Representatives, some Governors, some local legislators and other local officials. All of the candidates for each office for each party are shown in line one above the other. Voting for all the candidates for one party requires the voter to cast votes "straight down the line" from President to the most local office, i. e. voting a straight ticket. This is also called "bullet voting."

What did the framers mean to accomplish by the indirect election of the president?

The framers of the Constitution intended to establish a balance of power and prevent the majority from directly electing the president. They aimed to give greater influence to smaller states and ensure that the president would have broad support across the country. Additionally, indirect election was seen as a protection against direct democracy and potential manipulation by the masses.


What is the definition of presidential ticket?

While the Constitution is silent on the formula for awarding electoral votes, 48 states and the District of Columbia currently use the "general ticket" or "winner-take-all" system. Under this arrangement, each political party or group or independent candidate eligible to be on the ballot nominates a group ("ticket" or "slate") of elector-candidates equal in number to the state's total number of electors. Voters then cast a single vote for the ticket of electors pledged to the presidential and vice presidential candidates of their choice; the ticket receiving the most votes statewide (a plurality is sufficient) is elected.
