Displays awkward pose capturing vote (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expos

'displays' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'awkward pose capturing vote' is the wordplay.
'awkward' indicates an anagram.
'capturing' is an insertion indicator.
'vote' becomes 'x' (how votes are marked).
'pose' with letters rearranged gives 'epos'.
'epos' placed around 'x' is 'EXPOS'.

(Other definitions for expos that I've seen before include "International exhibitions" , "International shows" , "Public displays" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
