Ballot victor due to get time for wife (6)

I believe the answer is:

voting

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ballot' is the definition.
(I know that ballot can be written as voting)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for voting that I've seen before include "Taking part in poll" , "polling process" , "Casting a ballot" , "Election activity" , "Balloting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
