I believe the answer is:

put to the vote

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

'majority to decide' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'left to the' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

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