va'o and fau are fine. The second is just more vague.
da'i is not relevant here, da'i is about subjunctive worlds that don't

ma'i is a frame of reference. la jbovlaste can there but it's better
to use more elucidating concepts like va'o = fi'o tcini or fau = fi'o fanbu
so that worlds under which voting happens can be specified.
