TO VOTE FOR / AGAINST: meaning and examples
Good morning!
November has been a busy political month, with presidential elections in the United States and, yesterday, regional elections in Catalonia. In recognition of this, we are going to explain some words related to the electoral process in this week's Daily Vitamins.
Today's expression is: to vote for / to vote against (the verb 'vote' is regular: voted)
It means: a formal process where you choose between two or more candidates or options.
Example 1:
Robert has always voted for the Democrat Party, but in the most recent elections he decided to vote for the Libertarian Party.
Example 2:
Susie is going to vote against the legalisation in favour of recreational marijuana use, in the state referendum.
You can find some more expressions with the verb 'vote' in our Daily Vitamin archive for November 4th, 2008.
