What is the term for the practice of voting for each other's bills?

• A. Mark up
• B. Quorum
• C. Logrolling
• D. Pork barrel

Answer: (C)

Logrolling is the practice of voting for each other’s bills in exchange for support on one’s own proposals. In legislatures, lawmakers negotiate by promising to back a colleague’s measure if that colleague will back theirs, especially when broad support is needed to pass legislation. This helps bills move forward that might not pass on their own, though it can raise concerns about trading favors and the influence of personal or local interests. Mark up refers to revising a bill in committee by adding or changing provisions. Quorum is the minimum number of members required to conduct legislative business. Pork barrel describes spending aimed at benefiting a specific district through targeted projects.
