Root Breakdown

Root-derived
votevow, wish, vote
+
-rone who does, agent
=voter

vote + -er ('one who does') = 'one who votes.' A transparent agent noun. Today it is purely political: a voter is anyone entitled to cast a ballot — the original 'wish' sense of vot has vanished entirely from this word.
