A ticket can also refer to a political group or political party. In this case, the candidates for a given party are said to be running on the party's ticket. " Straight party voting" (most common in some U.S. states) is voting for the entire party ticket, including every office for which the party has a candidate running. Particularly in the era of mechanical voting machines, it was possible to accomplish this in many jurisdictions by the use of a "party lever" ...
