German term or phrase: gewählt (here)

Context:

"Die Patienten haben entschieden: Die beste Hausarztpraxis in Deutschland ist gewählt."

Talking about online evaluation of doctors. "Chosen" is obviously wrong, but "elected" or "democratically elected" seems a little OTT. Would "found" work here, do you think, or am I stretching it?

Notes to answerer

Asker: Yes, that works well, but it seems even better to use that for 'entschieden', instead of 'decided', i.e.: "The patients have voted and the best general practice in Germany has been found!"
