Short ballot voting refers to a system where only a limited number of positions are elected by voters. The characteristics of short ballot voting include a smaller number of elected officials, typically concentrating on key leadership positions rather than lower-level positions. This system aims to provide greater accountability, clarity, and focus to voters, allowing them to have a more direct influence on important decision-making positions.
