Official rulings

6 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

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.

2014-05-29 · Wizards of the Coast

You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.

2014-05-29 · Wizards of the Coast

The effect will be the same for all your opponents, no matter how they voted.

2014-05-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

2014-05-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.

2014-05-29 · 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.
