'''.vote''' is an active [[gTLD]], added to the [[DNS]] [[Root Zone|root zone]] in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program|new gTLD program]]. [[Monolith Registry LLC]] manages .vote with the support of [[Afilias]] as its back-end provider of registry services.  

'''CyberSquatting''' is the action of attempting to profit by purchasing domain names made of marketable and trademark related terms, and later reselling or licensing those names back to the companies that developed the trademark.

 

That is, CyberSquatters undertake the deliberate, abusive registration of domain names in violation of the rights of trademark owners. Abusive registration of a domain names is defined by [[WIPO]] as:

As stated on their application, Monolith Registry, LLC envisions the .VOTE TLD to be an easily identifiable Internet space where users seeking information on any given election or question that is put to a vote can easily find information regarding issues, candidates and options. .VOTE will not be open to the general public, but rather is intended for political candidates, political action committees (PACs), political committees, and other verifiable registrants.

* Registration of a domain name which is identical or misleadingly similar to a trademark.
