Definition from
The Washington Post:
A voter who is not extremely loyal to a particular party and may cross party lines to select a candidate.
Example sentences:
While the swing voter is ostensibly the target of most political activity during elections, in countries without compulsory voting the political parties know that the shift from one party to another is dependent only to a limited extent on swing voters. (Wikipedia)
In a country where many voters identify with a particular political party, "swing voters" -- those who do not have a strong party affiliation -- often take center stage in an election year (Online News Hour)
The only time our vote really matters is when it breaks a tie or creates a tie – when our vote becomes the swing vote (scienceline.org)

Definition from
own experience or research:
Votuesi i pavendosur/i lëkundur është një votues i cili nuk mund të konsiderohet si votues besnik/i sigurt i një partie të caktuar por, (për arsye të ndryshme) mund të votojë parti të tjera.
Example sentences:
Garë për të fituar të pavendosurit (BBC)
dhe nëse të pavendosurit ndjekin ... (hermesnews.org)
që të pavendosurit kanë rënë me 9% gjatë së njëjtës periudhë. (ikubinfo.al)
Discussion
While a swing voter can be undecided, his or her defining characteristic is a lack of willingness to commit to a particular party.
