The word "de-voting" typically means the act of removing or withdrawing someone's vote or support. Its antonyms refer to the opposite action of conferring or showing support. These antonyms include words like affirming, approving, endorsing, championing, promoting, advocating, applauding, backing, and embracing. Antonyms also include expressions like giving one's blessing, standing up for, siding with, vouching for, or standing behind. In most cases, these antonyms depict the reciprocal act of honoring or adhering to one's principles or actions. Hence, when a group de-votes a leader, its antonyms to the act may indicate how members align themselves with the remaining leadership.
