Voting Blocks

Voting blocks are groups of voters who share similar interests, backgrounds, or political goals, and who tend to vote together in elections. These groups can influence the outcome of elections because their collective support can sway the results, especially in closely contested races. Examples include ethnic communities, labor unions, or ideological groups. Politicians often target voting blocks to secure support, tailoring their messages or policies to appeal to these groups. Recognizing voting blocks helps understand voting patterns and how different segments of the population influence political decisions.
