The domain extensions .VOTE and .VOTO are new gTLDs that are intended for political opinion-forming or for elections. They are entirely dedicated to the promotion of democratic processes. Parties and candidates can conduct their election campaigns with domains under .VOTE – or under the Spanish-language variant .VOTO. On .VOTE or .VOTO domains, voters get access to validated information about election manifestos, political views, democratic processes or opinion-forming campaigns.
Since the registration conditions haven been lifted on 4 September 2019, domains under .VOTO or .VOTE are no longer reserved only for political content. Now these two domain extensions can also provide online space for content dealing with the formation of opinion or decision-making in the broadest sense. The generic TLDs provide meaningful web addresses, e.g. for online campaigns of various interest groups. Under .VOTE you can start surveys, communicate preliminary information about upcoming elections, introduce people and products that are up for election or to choose from. The extremely trustworthy domain extensions are also home to online voting offices.
.VOTE and .VOTO are short, meaningful domain extensions that can help to improve the ranking in search engines thanks to their clear message. Users are more likely to click on web pages if the keyword or topic they are looking for is already contained in the domain name. When it comes to topics relating to politics, democratization or voting issues of all kinds, users tend to choose web addresses with the appropriate endings .VOTE or .VOTO - opting for powerful TLDs that can convince many users.
