.vote is a proposed gTLD in ICANN's new gTLD program. Monolith Registry LLC is the only active applicant.[1] Donuts had also applied for the string but withdrew in June 2013, in what seems to be the first withdrawal related to a private gTLD auction, which was facilitated by Innovative Auctions. The amount of the winning bid was not disclosed.

The remaining applicant, Monolith Regsitry LLC is a joint venture between Afilias and two Utah-based investors. It is their intent to restrict registration to only verified "governments and office-seekers" within the USA. They suggest to expand eligibility to other countries in the future. The registration price is expected to be $60. The applicant also is the only applicant for .voto, which it expects to charge $100 per registration.[2]

Contract Signed

On November 21, 2013 Monolith Registry LLC received a Registry Agreement signed by ICANN for .vote after passing the Initial Evaluation.[3]
