Answer

Nope! It's correct! And it's very commonly used as well

Answer

No problem here.  "Vote" can be transitive or intransitive, and in this example the verb is used transitively and therefore sits comfortably in passive voice.  "Have been voted (position)" is completely natural.

Answer

I think that's correct because the form is passive so it means you are being choose by them

Answer

Maybe "elected" can be used here.
