Usage notes
- For elections, use votare per + candidate/party: Ho votato per Rossi. Italian also allows direct object in some contexts, but per is safest.
- Use essere in compound tenses when intransitive: sono andato a votare. With a direct object, avere is common: hanno votato la legge.
- Don't confuse votare with eleggere: voters votano; the result is that a candidate viene eletto.
