Is voting a fallacy?

Is voting a fallacy? If so, what fallacy is it? It seems like the purpose of voting is to arrive at the best possible solutions for society and to get at truth of things. But, voting has nothing to do with truth or what is correct or best for the society, but rather just a psychological trick to not have people revolt. It seems like thats its main purpose, if people feel they are responsible for what ever happens than they are less likely to protest and revolt. Humans aren't little truth vessels, they are more like little wanting to participate vessels. If this premise is correct, than what does this say about our societies?

A fallacy is a faulty argument or belief*. Voting is used to determine a consensus and/or choose things, there's no argument involved which could be considered fallacious.

"It seems like the purpose of voting is to arrive at the best possible solutions for society and to get at truth of thing"

Not at all, the purpose of elections specifically is to select a person to make decisions on the behalf of society. You might like to think that they would try to provide the best solutions for society but what you think is best for society, or the methods best employed to achieve what's best, may be vastly different than the person elected thinks is best. Some may genuinely be interested in what is best for the majority, while others are interested in serving a religion, ethnicity or the wealthy. Then you have to consider corruption, lobbying, etc. and how the interests of large corporations are often put before that of the people.

None of this is a fallacy, it's just a system that has evolved over time and isn't entirely fit for purpose, if at all.

Even if you live in a country with rigged elections, it's still not a fallacy (not everything which doesn't seem right is a fallacy, it just applies to an argument), it's just corruption.

* A fallacy might relate to beliefs which are wrong or not supported by evidence e.g. women are worse than men at driving, but this site deals specifically with logical fallacies which is specific to invalid argumentation, reasoning or logic.

Is voting an illusion? Is the public being misled as to what they're voting on or who they are voting for based on what that person claims they will try to do once in government?....it seems that most of the time Dems and Repubs are different during campaigning, but they are essentially the same once in power, imo.

Voting itself is a political form of determining a majority consensus on issues, leadership, political policy etc., however the argument that a claim is true simply because a majority believes it is a form of argumentum ad populum (Latin for "argument to the people"). It is a fallacious argument that concludes that a proposition must be true because many or most people believe it, often concisely encapsulated as: "If many believe so, it is so."
