Electoral Alliance

An electoral alliance is a formal agreement between different political parties to cooperate during an election. They might agree to support each other's candidates, avoid competing in certain areas, or combine resources to improve their chances of winning. This strategy helps parties with similar goals increase their impact and avoid splitting votes that could otherwise benefit their opponents. Electoral alliances are common in proportional representation systems and can influence the composition of government, as they often reflect shared ideologies or interests among participating parties.
