Council Guardian

The vote happens as the ability resolves. Until this happens, Council Guardian doesn't have protection from any color. Spells and abilities may target Council Guardian as normal in response to its enters-the-battlefield ability, but not in response to the vote. Once players have started voting, it's too late to respond.

The phrase "the vote is tied" refers only to when there is more than one choice that received the most votes. For example, if a 5-player vote from among three different choices ends 3 votes to 1 vote to 1 vote, the vote isn't tied.

No player votes until the spell or ability resolves. Any responses to that spell or ability must be made without knowing the outcome of the vote.
