A quick definition of instructed delegate:

Term: Instructed Delegate

Definition: An instructed delegate is a person who is chosen to represent a group of people and is given specific instructions on how to vote or act on their behalf. This means that the delegate must follow the wishes of the group they represent, rather than making their own decisions. It's like being a messenger who delivers a message from one person to another. The instructed delegate is responsible for making sure that the message is delivered accurately and that the wishes of the group are heard.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An instructed delegate is a representative who is required to vote according to the wishes of their constituents, as expressed through a formal instruction or mandate.

Example: In a presidential primary election, a voter may cast their ballot for a candidate and also indicate that they want their state's delegates to the national convention to be "instructed" to vote for that same candidate. This means that if the candidate wins the majority of votes in that state, the delegates are bound to vote for that candidate at the convention.

Explanation: The example illustrates how an instructed delegate works in the context of a political election. The voters have the power to instruct their chosen delegates to vote for a specific candidate, ensuring that their voices are heard and their preferences are represented. This system helps to ensure that the democratic process is fair and transparent, and that the will of the people is reflected in the outcome of the election.
