Depends on the country you're talking about. In countries like the US and the UK you basically vote for individual politicians, who either have been put forward by their political party but who who can also stand as 'independent' candidates, in which case a party may not even be involved. This is mostly the case in countries where each candidate personally represents a specific constituency or region.

In other countries - where number of seats per party are assigned on the basis of percentage of total votes scored - you vote for the parties themselves by voting for their political leaders.
