Which is correct, “Vote for me.” or “Vote me.”?

“Vote for me” is the one you want.

The sentence is a command, so if you place “you” in it, it’s easier to see:

“(You) vote for me” sounds much better than “(You) vote me”.

Vote for me

I think both. Vote me is acceptable, a complete thought saying vote me. Vote for me is also acceptable, if there are other positions that needs voting at the same time, you can also use this in a situation wherein someone says vote for me meaning vote the candidate who supports them.

Depends on if you are using it as a noun or a verb.

If you want them to take action (Verb), you would say “vote so and so”

If you are speaking of the vote itself (noun) you would say “Cast your vote for so and so”

I assume you are asking because you want to know what should be put on a flyer or something, so you could say either one of these two things I listed.

If you simply say “vote for me” you are saying you want someone to go in and vote on your behalf. To be perfectly honest, as you can see above, most people aren’t going to know the difference.

Oh and if you still aren’t sure, watch a few presidential campaign commercials. They will say “vote _insert idiot here_ for president”. If you don’t believe me, you should believe the professional, highly paid writers.

Replace “vote” with something else – “elect” or “choose” for example

Even if you place “you” in front of it as an order (as someone else said), “vote for” ends up being incorrect. You do not wish for the person to vote in your place, you wish for them to choose you.

“Elect me”, not “elect for me” and “Choose me”, not “choose for me”

edit:

according to MerriamWebster.com

For – preposition

5 a : in place of b (1) : on behalf of : REPRESENTING

but it also says

(2) : in favor of

so I suppose it COULD be “vote in favor of me”

I still think “vote me” is more correct, though. Even this way “choose in favor of me” doesn’t quite sound right…

vote me
