For instance, in a presidential election, Senate and House seats and contests for state and local offices are downballot (or downticket) because their outcomes are often influenced by the turnout for the presidential race at the top of the ballot. 2: relating to or noting a candidate or political contest that is relatively low-profile and local compared to one listed in a higher place on the ballot Example sentence(s):
