The new .voting domain has been proposed to create a platform dedicated to voting, elections, candidates, and public and private governance issues.
The new .voting extension will permit Internet users to find news and exchange useful information in order to be more informed and aware about elections and electoral laws.
In addition, registering a .voting domain can be used by companies and businesses to provide a platform for discussing, debating, voting and surveying, evaluating and reporting, on their trademarks, products and services.

The Sunrise of .voting 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 .votingdomain, 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 .voting domains will be examined on a first come, first served basis.
