How it's used
Distinguish carefully between the political sense of a unanimous vote and the commercial sense of a full-price ticket. In the context of transport or cinema, it is the standard term for a regular adult ticket, contrasting with concessionary fares for children or seniors. When used for voting, it implies total consensus among all participants.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse the two meanings. If you are at a ticket counter, saying you want a full vote will be confusing, so ensure context clarifies whether you are discussing elections or paying for a seat.
