Preferred term

protest voting  

Definition

  • PROTEST VOTING IS voting for an outsider candidate, perceived as having no chance to win, as an expression of dissatisfaction with traditional parties. What distinguishes it from regular voting is its negative connotation: it is a vote of rejection, rather than a vote of support for the recipient. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior; Protest Voting]
