Solicit for votes in the foyer (5)
I believe the answer is:
lobby
This might be a double definition.
'solicit for votes' is the first definition.
'lobby' can be an answer for 'solicit' (lobbying is a kind of soliciting). I am unsure of the 'for votes' bit.
'the foyer' is the second definition.
(synonyms)
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lobby that I've seen before include "Shy" , "Antechamber" , "entrance-hall" , "Entrance hall - seek to influence" , "Seek to influence (a legislator)" .)
