Bullet, [1] single-shot, [2] or plump voting [3] is when a voter supports only a single candidate, typically to show strong support for a single favorite.. Every voting method that does not satisfy either later-no-harm (most methods) or monotonicity (such as instant-runoff voting) will encourage bullet voting or truncation in some situations.
Later-no-harm is also often confused with immunity to a kind of strategic voting called strategic truncation or bullet voting. [30] Satisfying later-no-harm does not provide immunity to such strategies. Systems like instant runoff that pass later-no-harm but fail monotonicity still incentivize truncation or bullet voting in some situations.
In this particular example (but not always), bullet voting benefits one group of voters only if another group or groups do it as well. The example shows that, depending upon who does it, bullet voting may distort the outcome and could be counterproductive for some voters who do it (here, those from Chattanooga and Nashville).

Arrow's theorem does not cover rated voting rules, and thus cannot be used to inform their susceptibility to the spoiler effect. However, Gibbard's theorem shows these methods' susceptibility to strategic voting , and generalizations of Arrow's theorem describe cases where rated methods are susceptible to the spoiler effect.
