Summary/Abstract: A split ticket voting in mixed member electoral systems is one of the most intriguing issues in modern electoral studies. Scholars involved in the analysis of this phenomenon are kindled in a fierce debate on its causes and consequences for the political scene. This article focuses on one of the causes of split ticket voting in mixed member electoral systems, which are voters’ preferences for coalition government. Some scholars point out that mixed elections may became a referendum on the nature of government (single or coalition government) in which split ticket can be interpreted as a form of support to the coalition government. Voters wishing to support two different political parties, which are likely to establish a coalition government after the election, will split their votes between them.
