Why this is the answer

VOTE is on the USCIS WRITING VOCABULARY list under CIVICS terms. The correct spelling is 'V-O-T-E.' A common dictation sentence is 'Citizens can vote' or 'People vote for the President.' Voting in federal elections is a right reserved for U.S. citizens, which is why it appears in citizenship dictation sentences. On the writing test, the applicant writes one dictated sentence correctly out of up to three. Practicing short, high-frequency civics words like 'vote' helps applicants write the dictation sentences accurately.
