Anti-incumbency
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An anti-incumbent vote is one voted against the government, mainly to stimulate change by voting for another party. Anti-incumbent votes are most likely when voters wish to protest actions or inactions of incumbents. As the process of voter representation by incumbent legislators has become more professionalized, the number of anti-incumbent votes have gone down in many jurisdictions.
