The act of voting raised an E-o issue for me. In English: I vote for a candidate, but if I'm talking about a party, I can say 'I vote Labour'
How does this work in Esperanto. Would "Mi voĉdonis la Verdojn" be correct? Or should there be a preposition in there?

I think "voĉdoni" is actually short for "doni voĉon", isn't it?
If so, because one will probably say "doni voĉon al iu", I think "al" is more preferable.
Of course, with "doni voĉon" incorporated into "voĉdoni", one can say "voĉdoni iun".
Here the "-n" is a substitute for "al..."
Therefore, "my-opinionly", both "voĉdoni al iu" and "voĉdoni iun" can be used.
