What happens when a voter engages in straight-ticket voting? Question 6 options: The voter can check one box at the top of the ballot for one party and this will then cast a vote for each candidate on the ballot with that party's affiliation. The voter casts one vote during the primary election that serves as a "super" ballot and will count throughout the entire electoral cycle. The voter casts his or her ballot using a piece of paper where selections have to be made using a pen or pencil and filling in a circle next to the candidates' names. The voter makes voting decisions based on whether or not he or she recognizes the names on the ballot
