The new .vote domain has been proposed to create a platform dedicated to voting, elections, candidates, and public and private governance issues.
Today voters are often confused and frustrated with the flood of misleading information, disinformation and false and deceptive messages about elections.
The new .vote domain has been designed for candidates who want to be transparent and provide clear information to voters about their issues and their candidacy.

The Sunrise of .vote domain is a limited period of time during which holders of trademarks may preregister names that are the same or similar to their trademark in a privileged way and at an additional cost before it is sold to the public.
To participate in the Sunrise phase of the .votedomain, the trademark must be validated by a third party designated by ICANN: the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH).
Dominiando is an official TMCH agent and can, therefore, carry out brand validation procedures of the trademark on your behalf.
This validation is mandatory to participate in the Sunrise of all new domains and the same validation can be reused for registration during the Sunrise periods of all extensions that allow it.
Applications received during the Sunrise period of the .vote domains will be examined on a first come, first served basis.
