What are vote leader and vote term?

[fade2black]

I have come across

• vote leader and
• vote term

in this line.

While I understand the basic concepts leader, term and vote, commit index as they are defined in the original Raft paper or explained by the authors on the YouTUbe channels, I've never come across terms like vote leader or vote term.

Do they denote the same thing as simply leader and term or is it something that the implementers of the crate made up? If so, then some explanation should be added to the docs, otherwise It is confusing.

It actually means the candidate it votes for and its term.
