Block vote? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veto

This clue is a double definition.

'block' is the first definition.
(to veto is to block a decision or action)

'vote?' is the second definition.
(I know that veto is a type of vote)

(Other definitions for veto that I've seen before include "Ban; refuse to allow" , "Formally forbid" , "Refuse permission" , "black ball" , "Refuse to endorse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
