Tactical Voting

• It is a situation wherein a voter does not vote
  for the candidate he sincerely supports but for a
  different candidate or party in order to prevent
  an undesirable outcome. He may either vote a
  candidate higher (which will be known as a
  compromise) or lower (which is known as burying).
  Tactical voting definitely impacts the results of
  an election, though there are rules relating to
  the extent of it. Generally, it is done to rule
  out a more disliked rival.

Bipartisanship

• This is the situation in which opposing political
  parties find a common ground and compromise for a
  cooperative effort. It happens when, despite
  mutual hatred, the parties need each other for
  survival. You might find this word when reading
  the latest news of UP as Samajwadi Party and
  Congress also got into an alliance for this
  election.

Hung Parliament

• If no party wins an overall majority after the
  elections, it is said that the parliament is
  hung. Under the circumstances, usually, the main
  party forms a coalition with other minor parties
  and no single political party has absolute
  majority of seats in the parliament.

Exit Poll

• Exit poll is a rather common term. It refers to
  the opinion of people who have immediately exited
  the polling station. It is taken to predict the
  outcome of the elections before the results are
  formally announced.

7
Silent Majority

• Silent majority refers to the mass of people
  whose opinions are not loud and public, but when
  combined their opinion has enormous power to
  bring a party down.
• These terms will be very helpful in understanding
  the news about ongoing elections. If you are
