voted
Chose at polls
Voted is the past tense of vote—to formally express a choice in an election, poll, or group decision.
She voted for the incumbent.
The committee voted to approve the budget.
Voted also appears in participial constructions: the most-voted candidate, a democratically voted resolution.
To be voted off is to be eliminated by group decision, as on reality television.
