Wikipedia

  1. voter

    Voting is a method by which a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, can convene together for the purpose of making a collective decision or expressing an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a jurisdiction represented by an elected official are called "constituents," and the constituents who choose to cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called "voters." There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections. In smaller organizations, voting can occur in many different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.

Examples of voter in a Sentence

  1. Bruce Wilson:

    This is a small form of voter suppression that I feel like we have experienced being away from the place we are registered to vote. We're just like siloed, this is one election that I can say that a lot of people who weren't registered to vote before and weren't excited about voting went out of their way to do the proper steps to get their ballot counted and we're still experiencing troubles.

  2. Raphael Warnock:

    I have never been opposed to voter ID, and in fact, I don't know anybody who is — who believes people shouldn't have to prove that they are who they say they are.

  3. Pat Dowell:

    This was an attempt to suppress, in my case, my community, an African American community, solidly Democratic, suppress voter turnout in this upcoming general election, it's unfortunate that the powers that be, or whoever is behind this, would stoop so low to keep people from voting their choice this election, which is very, very important.

  4. Neelanjan Sircar:

    To me, this election is very much a battle between voter accountability and party organization.

  5. Bob Gray:

    I'll just give you an example, if you're running and you walk doors, you kindly knock on a door and if you have a good conversation you ask if you can put a yard sign in the yard and sometimes that works. Well, they've got the Hillary (Clinton) voting list and they're just having large teams, many from out of state, walk through and they're just putting signs in every yard of a Hillary voter. And you wake up in the morning and you don't like the sign, maybe you throw it away. But the vast majority of the people are just leaving the sign up, which is creating a sense of energy that's unrealistic.
