Vote for globe to spin (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ballot

'vote' is the definition.
(balloting is a kind of voting)

'globe to spin' is the wordplay.
'globe' becomes 'ball' (synonyms).
'spin' says the letters should be written backwards.
'to' in reverse letter order is 'ot'.
'ball'+'ot'='BALLOT'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ballot that I've seen before include "Document listing the alternatives to vote for" , "Plebiscite" , "Secret vote" , "Election" , "Single or collective vote" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
