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 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.

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
