Split ticket voting is the current ticket system; where all candidates are shown on a ballot. Unlike in the "old" days when you would receive a ticket with the candidate of the party you affiliated with.
A split-ticket refers to a ballot on which the voter has chosen candidates from different political parties when multiple offices are being decided by a single election. Split-ticket voting is in contrast to straight-ticket voting in which a voter chooses candidates from the same political party for every office on the ballot.
Split ticket voting is when you cast your ballot for candidates representing more than one party. An example would be voting for the Democratic candidate for President, but the Republican candidate for the Senate.
Straight ticket voting is when you vote for only one party on your ballot no matter who it is (all democrat, all republican etc). You usually do this when you are registered with a party. split ticket voting is when you vote for multiple parties in different positions on your ballot.
