Electoral fusion in the United States is an arrangement where two or more U.S. political parties on a ballot list the same candidate,[1] allowing that candidate to receive votes on multiple party lines in the same election.[2]
Electoral fusion is also known as fusion voting, cross endorsement, multiple party nomination, multi-party nomination, plural nomination, and ballot freedom.[3][4]
Electoral fusion was once widespread in the United States; however, as of 2016, it is only legal in eight U.S. states and is only practiced regularly in New York.
