Etymology
Voting comes from vote, which comes from the Latin votum meaning 'a promise' or 'wish' and is the same root as the English word vow. A helpful way to remember it is to think of voting as making a promise or wish about what should happen, which is why voting is how people show their choice and help decide things.
