Etymology: This is an inflected form, so the answer is brief: "voted" is the simple past and past participle of "vote", a verb that goes back to Latin "vōtum", a vow or solemn promise, from "voveō", "to vow". The same Proto-Indo-European root gave Greek "eúkhomai", "to vow", which is why the Latin and Greek words are relatives. English "vow" came into the language through a separate route and is a doublet of "vote", so the two words are cousins that took different paths into English.
