The ruling on voting in competitions depends on their content. If the competition is beneficial and permissible, then it is allowed, provided that the cost of the voting message does not exceed the usual rate. Otherwise, it would be prohibited gambling. Obedience to one's father in voting is obligatory if it is permissible and involves no harm, but it is not obligatory if the voting is impermissible or involves harm, as "there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator."
