No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
Before secret votes are revealed, players may announce how they intend to vote, but they can't reveal what they actually wrote down until all votes are simultaneously revealed. Players can lie about how they intend to vote before the votes are revealed. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that trigger "whenever players finish voting" trigger once all players have voted or once all secret votes are revealed, but they won't go on the stack until the current spell or ability finishes resolving. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
Each player must vote for one of the available options. They can't abstain. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
After the votes are revealed, first the player whose turn it is draws a card for each vote they received, then each other player in turn order does so. Then, if the first player received no votes, they may put a permanent card from their hand onto the battlefield. Then each other player in turn order does the same. - 2023-06-16 · Wizards of the Coast
To secretly vote, each player writes down their chosen option without showing it to anyone else. Each player then keeps their vote secret until all players simultaneously reveal their votes.
