Vote from WikiPedia:

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.

Representative democracies discern the will of the people by a common voting procedure:

Individual voter registration and qualification,
Opening the election for a set time period,
Registration of voters at established voting locations,
Distribution of ballots with preset candidates, issues, and choices (including the write-in option in some cases),
Selection of preferred choices (often in secret, called a secret ballot),
Secure collection of ballots for unbiased counting, and
Proclamation of the will of the voters as the will of the people for their government.

In a representative democracy, 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.
