People often vote for candidates they don’t know because they feel it’s easier than learning everything about them. Like when you pick your favorite candy without tasting all the options, sometimes you just go with what you think might be good, even if you’re not sure. Some people rely on friends or ads to make their choice faster.
Examples
- A child votes for a candidate just because their favorite cartoon character supports them.
- Someone casts a vote based only on the candidate’s name, they don’t know what they stand for.
- An elderly person votes for someone because they heard a friend say that person is 'nice.'
