Also known as vote, poll
Voting is the process of making collective decisions by means of submitting and then adding up individual choices. The choice voted upon is often a candidate for office, but the object of a vote can be anything, for example what kind of food to buy or whether a defendant is innocent or guilty. Voting can be formal, using ballots and specific rules, or informal using raised hands, shouts (such as when the voice vote is used), or movement to indicate preference.
Voting is the process where people submit individual choices that are then added up to make a collective decision, which can be about anything from selecting a candidate for office to deciding on food or guilt in a trial. It can happen formally using ballots and specific rules, or informally through methods like raised hands or voice votes.

投票（英文：Voting）是決策的一種方法，典型的手法是群體經過討論或辯論後，在特定紙張上標示出投票者的立場，然後投交大會作點算。除了投票，共識決策法和賭博也是決策的方法。民主國家裡，選民在選舉中投票，選出代表他們的議員或公職人員。 投票本來指在特定紙張上標示出投票者的立場，然後投交大會作點算，但是現代社會已經接受舉手、網絡投票等方式。每一個人通過選票表達支持或反對某一意見或候選人。票站通常採取不記名投票的辦法，投票者無需披露政治取向。但是，有選舉的國家不一定代表是民主國家，一些極權國家的「選舉」，可能受統治階層嚴格管控，候選人也可能是內定的，並沒有真正的競爭可言，而且亦可能只有很少人有權投票。有些國家（例如澳洲、新加坡、巴西、朝鲜）強制人民在國會選舉中必須投票，否則會面临处罚。此外，在投票中行賄或受賄以達到影響他人投票的取向通常是違法的。
