Explanation:

Discrete data represents counts and has distinct, separate values. The number of votes is a count of individual votes, not a measurement that can take on any value within an interval. Continuous data has an infinite number of possible values within an interval and is often associated with measurements like length or time. Since the number of votes is a count, it is discrete.
