Question

i need to know how the ancient athenians voted and about ther voting system

Answer 1

A little less than half the population were citizens. Male citizens older than 18 who had military training and did not owe money to the state (and was not a descendant of anyone who owed money to the state) could vote.

Everyone voted at the "Assembly", if you weren't there you couldn't vote. Votes were always "For" and "Against ". Normally  this was done by people raising their hands; these votes were not counted one by one but judges would look around and decide what side was biggest. The "Boule" (Council of 500) would decide what the votes were on; for a citizen to get an issue voted on they'd need to find one of the 500 who would support it. The issue could be anything (including executing random people).

By law, some thing needed to pass by a set number instead of by just a majority. For this the people at the Assembly were handed colored balls, white = "Yes" black="No".

Some "government" positions were chosen by election but most were chosen at random, by casting lots. Terms in office usually didn't last very long.

Citizens without any interested in politics were called "ἰδιώτης"; The English word "idiot" comes from this. Non-citizens could be ordered to make citizens come to the Assembly by force.

Answer 2

Ancient Greeks just raise their hands to vote during gatherings.
