Umfrage vs Abstimmung

vote / coordination

“Die Umfrage” and “die Abstimmung” both capture the opinions of several people. A survey collects opinions or attitudes, while a vote uses the casting of ballots to reach a decision or establish a formal expression of opinion. So ask about people’s opinions with an Umfrage, and decide between proposals with an Abstimmung.
