2 meanings of voted

1
verb
Past tense and past participle of vote.
The committee voted to approve the new budget.
She has voted in every election since she turned eighteen.
Note
A regular past form: vote simply adds -d, so one spelling serves both she voted and she has voted. The construction shows which meaning is at work. Used intransitively, it takes for, against or to (they voted to adjourn). Used transitively, it means choosing or granting, and so it allows the passive (the funds were voted, he was voted chair). Set before a noun, that passive participle becomes the adjective in a voted budget.
2
adjective
Assigned or established by means of a vote.
The voted budget passed to the finance office for distribution.
The council confirmed the voted appropriations for the coming year.
