Spanish term or phrase: ¿De qué depende el voto...?
We are in the context of the past European Election in Spain. The term looks simple enough, but I don't think I am getting it right:

"¿De qué depende el voto a XXXX?" Where XXXX stands for the name of a political party.

I am going round these terms:

"What does a/the vote for XXXX depend on?"

"What does voting for XXXX depend on?"

"What determines a/the vote for XXXX?"
