balsuok

Balsuok is a Lithuanian word used as a directive to vote. It is the second-person singular imperative form of the verb balsuoti, which means to vote. As a direct command, it appears in political messaging, voter information, and campaign materials to urge an individual to participate in an election or referendum.

In usage, balsuok is typically paired with a target or option, such as in phrases like balsuok už tam tikrą kandidatą or balsuok už politinį klausimą. The formal or plural form of the command is balsuokite, used when addressing multiple people or speaking in a formal context. Related verbs include balsuoti (to vote) and the related nouns balsavimas (the act of voting) and balsas (vote or voice).

Etymology-wise, balsuok derives from the root bals- connected to balsas, which can mean voice or vote, with a verb-forming suffix that yields the imperative mood. The term is commonly found in civic education, electoral campaigns, and public notices that encourage participation in democratic processes.

Context and usage notes: balsuok is a general, non-partisan directive to cast a ballot, but it frequently appears in partisan campaign materials as part of persuasion to supporters. Its usage is most common during official election periods and in contexts where clear, actionable instructions are needed for voters.
