Dance, then return to vote (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballot

'vote' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'dance then return to' is the wordplay.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'then' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'return' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'to' back-to-front is 'ot'.
'ball'+'ot'='BALLOT'

(Other definitions for ballot that I've seen before include "Vote or suffrage" , "The process of voting" , "Election" , "Voting procedure" , "Document listing voting alternatives" .)
