 To qualify, a political party must field candidates in each seat up for election in a given year.In practice, only the Seneca Party, which has been the dominant party in the nation's politics for decades, has ever received the straight-ticket option.Opponents of the Seneca Party have accused the party of using the straight-ticket option to eavesdrop on voters and punish them with the loss of their jobs if they do not use it, also using the promise of jobs to those running in opposing parties to get them to drop out and deny those parties the straight-ticket option.
