2) " Voter" -- As it applies to Florida Voter For the Finno-Ugric people, see Votes. Votre s at the voting booths in the US in 1945 Voting is a method of decision making wherein a group suchas a meeting or an electorate attempts to gauge its opinion -- usually as a final step following discussions or debates.
