<p>Adding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_description" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Short description">short description</a>: &quot;Parliamentary procedure with no majority&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Short description|Parliamentary procedure with no majority}}<br /> {{For|the procedure used in the European Parliament|Division of a question}}<br /> {{Unreferenced|date=May 2019}}<br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;split vote&#039;&#039;&#039; is normally used synonymously with &quot;[[Political deadlock|deadlock]]ed&quot;, &quot;hung&quot;, or &quot;evenly split&quot; vote. It indicates a vote in which no decision can be made, as neither side has the majority.<br /> <br /> The term can be used to indicate dissent by as little as a single vote, if a unanimous vote is required.<br /> <br /> If a [[casting vote]] is available, this may be used to break the deadlock. In other cases it may result in situations such as [[hung jury|hung juries]] or [[hung parliament]]s.<br /> <br /> A split vote may arise from [[vote splitting]], which occurs in an [[election]] when the existence of two or more similar candidates reduces the [[vote]]s received by each of them, reducing the chances of any one of them winning against another, significantly different, candidate. In systems that require a winning candidate to receive a majority of votes, this may result in a [[runoff election]].<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[List of democracy and elections-related topics]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Voting theory]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Poli-stub}}<br /> {{Election-stub}}</div>
