What do you mean by electoral behaviour?

Elections provide the people an opportunity to influence the political process and also help directly or indirectly to determine who will hold power. Elections are also a visible expression of public interest. The reasons to vote and vote in favour of a candidate, therefore, is determined by both individuals' own reasons and perceptions as also by his/her being a part of a collectivity or group. At the same time the voting behaviour is shaped both by short-term and long-term influences.
