    Because the votes are cast in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

  2. 2014-05-29

    If death gets more votes, each opponent chooses and sacrifices a creature they control. None of these creatures are targeted. An opponent could sacrifice a creature with protection from black, for example.

  3. 2014-05-29

    No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.

  4. 2014-05-29

    Players can't do anything after they finish voting but before the spell or ability that included the vote finishes resolving.

  5. 2014-05-29

    The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.

    You must vote for one of the available options. You can't abstain.
