peer agreement (net): +1voting Explanation: Literally, undian means lottery, sweepstakes, and their synoyms. However, in this context, I believe the word refers to the method to make decision on individuals. E.g. who will chair the board? Is the director's accountability report acceptable? and other things related to roles and responsibilities of individuals or group of individuals. This is supported by the following reference, where undian is made synonymous with pemungutan suara (which is voting in English). ********************REFERENCE******************** http://www.inaport1.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Lampira... Apabila jumlah suara setuju dan tidak setuju sama banyaknya, maka usul yang bersangkutan dianggap ditolak, kecuali mengenai diri orang akan ditentukan dengan undian (pemungutan suara) secara tertutup. |

vote Explanation: mengundi to draw lots, toss a coin. ~ suara to vote (A Comprehensive Dictionary of Indonesian-English Dictionary). However, the differences between vote and voting should be taken into account. Both words can function as a noun. There are clear differences in their semantic aspects and/or syntactical or grammatical positions. e.g. vote 1 choice by voting [countable] an act of voting in an election or meeting, or the choice that you make when you vote: (http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/vote_2) vote n. ... 4. The act or process of voting: took a vote on the issue. ... (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/voting) 13. What happens if I disagree with the other shareholders about what to do? In general, decisions among shareholders - at, for example, a general meeting - are taken by a vote. In most cases, the vote is passed by a simple majority of those present at the meeting who vote. Some decisions require a higher majority: for example, a special resolution to change the company's articles of association requires a majority of 75% of votes cast. Most disagreements between shareholders will eventually be resolved simply by voting power. (http://www.lawdonut.co.uk/law/ownership-and-management/share... Thus, caution must be taken as to which word to use. To some extent, the context of usage helps us choose the most appropriate word. |
