Voting

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. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting.

In politics

In a democracy, a government is chosen by voting in an election: a way for an electorate to elect, i.e. choose, among several candidates for rule. In a representative democracy voting is the method by which the electorate appoints its representatives in its government. In a direct democracy, voting is the method by which the electorate directly make decisions, turn bills into laws, etc.

A vote is a formal expression of an individual's choice in voting, for or against some motion (for example, a proposed resolution), for or against some ballot question, for a certain candidate, a selection of candidates, or a political party. A secret ballot has come to be the practice to prevent voters from being intimidated and to protect their political privacy.

Voting usually takes place at a polling station; it is voluntary in some countries, compulsory in others, such as Australia.

    by: Submarines

    Cut the rain, we two have swallowed trust
    And you have changed
    And I, I didn't change enough
    And some have said,
    That true loves something we are sure of
    My only hope lies in your being confused
    With all you said, I would wait one hundred summers
    Just once again to be with you
    On Monday evening, the cloudy skies
    On two for Tuesday, I wanted to die
    And so you love me, sometimes I find
    But you only need me till the darkness takes the sun
    Away from me, I've lost you
    Away from me, I've lost you
    Away from me, I've lost you
    Away from me
    I saw a silver sun
    I wanted it to touch everyone
    You have an arm to pull me back
    But theres no way that I can give this up
    Some other way, theres got to be another
    Some other way, there has to be another
    Some other way, theres got to be another way
    We all are scientists who will not be afraid
    I'm not saying that theres no hope for this
    And you have tried to change my mind
    But we all know, our systems broken
