Italian balota obsolete, ballotta (small ball, especially one used to register#Verb), from balla ([[bale, bundle) + -otta; or from Middle French balote obsolete, ballotte (small ball used to register a vote) (also compare balotiage, ballottage); both ultimately from *ballu (ball), from Proto-Germanic *balluz (ball).
