swing seats

Swing seats are a political concept referring to electoral districts or constituencies that do not consistently favor one political party. Instead, they can be won by different parties in different elections, making them competitive and influential in determining overall election outcomes. Politicians and parties often focus on swing seats because winning them can decide who forms the government. These seats are typically characterized by diverse or changing voter preferences, and their results can reflect broader national trends. Campaign strategies often target swing seats to secure enough votes to win the majority of seats in a legislature.
