Votians



         


For the process of ballot-casting, see Vote.

Votes are people who speak the Finno-Ugric Votic language, who until World War II lived in the northern parts of Estonia.

As a people, they are practically extinct after Stalinist dispersion to Soviet provinces far away — as punishment for alleged disloyalty and cowardice during the war.
