Put together project, securing vote with an attitude (9)
I believe the answer is:
juxtapose
'put together' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'project securing vote with an attitude' is the wordplay.
'project' becomes 'jut' (project can mean to jut out).
'securing' indicates putting letters inside.
'vote with' becomes 'x' (how votes are marked. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'an' becomes 'a'.
'attitude' becomes 'pose' (attitude can mean a pose or stance).
'jut' going around 'x' is 'juxt'.
'juxt'+'a'+'pose'='JUXTAPOSE'
(Other definitions for juxtapose that I've seen before include "Put side by side" , "Place alongside for comparison" , "Place close together" , "Place side by side" , "put together" .)
