The term 'Voting Circuit' is used to describe a system whereby e.g. several sensors monitor a process, and then 'vote' on the outcome, i.e. the majority decides if say two out of three sensors have the same result /measurement.
So the voter / voting system (my interpretation) is actually the system which decides which ECU to use based on their respective hours used, and the switch allows you to override it for test purposes.
And we have a winner. Well done EKRK.
The training manual states:-
"A logical circuit, which is hereinafter called Voter, detects in cooperation with the ECU modules, the active ECU module. The Voter is autonomously switching to the detected module within the automatic mode. The pilot, however, is able to overrule this procedure by a manually switching between the modules."
