.vote registration
.vote is designed for election campaigns, political organizations, advocacy groups, civic initiatives, voter-information services, and projects focused on public participation. Registration is open to everyone without eligibility conditions or document requirements. Available names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and each domain label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. A .vote address gives visitors an immediate indication that a website concerns elections, candidates, policy choices, or civic engagement. It can support a campaign website, an election-information portal, a voter-registration initiative, a polling project, or an educational resource. Because the meaning is explicit, the domain should be used for content whose purpose genuinely matches that expectation. To transfer an existing .vote domain to host.yt, first remove the transfer lock or other transfer protection at the current registrar. You must then obtain the domain’s authorization code and submit it with the transfer request. Completion can take several days. Once the transfer is finalized, one year is added to the domain’s current expiration date. A change of holder requires authentication by both the current and future holders through validation emails. If the required confirmations are not completed within five days, the holder-change request is cancelled. Changing the holder does not alter the domain’s expiration date.

Frequently asked questions
What does the .vote extension mean?
vote signals a clear connection with elections, political participation, campaigns, voter education, polling, or civic decision-making. It helps visitors understand the subject of a website before opening it, making the extension particularly relevant when voting or public engagement is central to the project.
Who can register a .vote domain?
Anyone can register a .vote domain. The registry does not limit eligibility to candidates, political parties, public institutions, advocacy organizations, or residents of a particular country. Names are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability and the registry’s standard registration process.
Does .vote have registration restrictions or require documents?
There are no eligibility conditions or supporting-document requirements for registering a .vote domain. The requested label must contain between 2 and 63 characters. Registration is possible when the name is available and the request reaches the registry before any competing application for the same name.
Is .vote a good choice, and what projects suit it?
vote is a strong fit for election campaigns, voter-information portals, civic initiatives, political advocacy, polling services, candidate pages, and educational projects about democratic participation. Its meaning is specific, so it works best when voting, elections, or collective decision-making is a central and visible part of the project.
When does .vote make more sense than .com?
vote makes more sense when immediate identification with elections or civic participation matters more than broad commercial familiarity. .com is more versatile and widely recognized for general organizations or businesses, while .vote communicates a narrower purpose. Choose .vote for thematic clarity and .com when the project may expand beyond voting-related content.
How quickly is a .vote domain registered, and how long does it last?
A .vote registration is processed after the chosen name passes availability checks and the order is submitted successfully. The available registration term and expiration date are presented by host.yt during the registration process. Renew the domain before that expiration date to keep the registration active.
How do I transfer a .vote domain to host.yt?
Disable the transfer lock or other transfer protection with your current registrar, obtain the domain authorization code, and submit the transfer through host.yt. Processing may take several days. After completion, one year is added to the existing expiration date, so the remaining registration time is preserved.
