Explanation:
"Cast" doesn't usually collocate with answer, and appears here because of the proximity of vote - in fact the real meaning is a vote rather an answer.

Since the answers are put into programme, I have included "entrar" as an option.

Whichever option you choose Marta, don't forget to correct the typo in your posting if you're putting it into the glossary!

cast vote


Explanation:
If we talk about votes I suggest that ANSWER here is to be costrued as VOTE , so CAST VOTE should be VOTE WITH VOTING SHARE, the voting share is share with the right of voting. Success

I am sorry. I am not a Spanish speaker. I've understood you wanted an explanation, not necessary to be nervous. I wanted to help you understand the meaning in English and you could further find the right words in Spanish. I am sorry I was not useful for you!
