There's probably as many reasons as there are voters on the way they vote. What is/are your reason(s)?

Character doesn't bother me, results and delivering does. I've never protest voted. I have only voted Left once in thirty odd years.

You can vote upto 3 reasons.
 
There are a significant number of voters – perhaps a majority – who don’t vote ‘for’ anyone; they vote against.

This isn’t ‘lesser of two evils voting’; rather, it’s acknowledging the nature of two-party democracies where one will rarely, if ever, encounter a candidate they completely agree with on the issues.

The exception to this, obviously, would be yes/no referenda.

Character doesn't bother you.

Sometimes you guys really do leave me speechless. Character is the only thing that matters.

You're giving people too much of a chance to lie. Most people are "lesser of two evils" voters. Whether they'll admit it or not.
 
My "other" is used when I absolutely don't care who wins the election. I'll go with my wife's choice.
