Derived termsTerms derived from vote (verb)From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Voting is a method for a group such as a meeting or an electorate to make a decision or express an opinion—often following discussions, debates, or election campaigns. It is often found in democracies and republics. Reasons for votingIn a representative government, voting commonly implies election: a way for an electorate to select among candidates for office. In politics voting is the method by which the electorate of a democracy appoints representatives in its government. A vote is an individual's act of voting, by which he or she expresses support or preference for a certain motion (for example, a proposed resolution), a certain candidate, a selection of candidates, or a political party. With a secret ballot to protect voters' political privacy, voting generally takes place at a polling station. The act of voting is voluntary in some countries; whereas some countries, such as Argentina, Australia, Belgium and Brazil, have compulsory voting systems. From Wikipedia under the

I mean, didn't Bush get outnumbered in votes, but won because of the electoral votes? I support voting and I'm not saying we shouldn't vote, but why do we bother if this is how the winner is determined? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. Asked by Lorelei - Fri Oct 3 16:16:13 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because we are actually voting for the electors... I am opposed to the electoral college though and would prefer to elect a president based on the popular vote total. Actually Bush lost to Gore in the popular vote and if all the votes in Florida were recounted he would have lost the electoral vote too. It was a corrupt Supreme Court, mostly appointed by his dad's administration that overruled the Florida recount.

Q. I recently turned 18 and have been following the political campaign closely. I would like to register to vote. For personal reasons though, I am temporarily (and will be for the election) outside of my district. How would I go about registering to vote without being in my district?

He/she will help you. Answered by Bibs - Mon Sep 8 12:30:15 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "vote" Requests for help on editing
