Trickier than it looks It all depends on the kind of vote and how the propositions are presented. (there , you already have one of the words 'propositions')
You can also vote for a 'motion' or to vote on a question.

Have to say that I have reservations about the current suggestions, especially 'voting item'

voting item

I like Deane’s suggestion but when I find the (cognate) equivalent item in Dutch minutes to translate, I usually go for this version. The problem is that Anglo-Saxon committees tend to regard (and especially to describe) their work less prescriptively than Continental ones and so avoid the use of single set terms of this type. Normally, a councillor or other type of committee member would describe such an item as “something to vote on” or “an item we have to make a decision on” or such, using a bit of a circumlocution.

decision process

Depending on context, it should be a decision item (on an agenda), but if the context of an agenda is not provided in the rest of the text, simply using "decision item" would be vague. A decision item on an agenda is essentially the same thing as a subprocess in which the decision is made - hence, a viable alternative would be "decision process".
