vote_controller is a logical entity available in all Source games except . It controls the voting system in game. It's spawned automatically in games where voting by players is available such as Left 4 Dead series, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Important:This is a preserved entity in .
If the game has round restart mechanics this entity may not behave as expected:

More info

On a new round entities with this classname will intentionally not reset. You can use logic_auto to emulate resetting it. Killing it removes it forever, as it is not respawned on a new round. It cannot be spawned with a point_template. Parenting this with non-preserved entities may have undesirable effects.

Warning:Killing this entity may crash the game.
