What is the difference between "vote" and "ballot"?

"The committee decided to hold a secret ***ballot*** to ensure that all members could vote without fear of judgment or pressure." When I read this sentence, I thought "vote" would sound more natural than "ballot" because a ballot is a method or device used for casting a vote, and a vote is the actual act of voting. Can someone explain what the difference is ?

What does "suggest" mean here?

*His own party leader is* ***suggesting*** *that he's been ousted.* Does this mean the leader stated that he's been ousted?

How don you say it?

It's new year, how a native would say this: "Hope you are having a great start of the year?" Or "Hope you are having a great beggining of the year?" Or there are other idioms to express it???

I thought that "peoples"(non possessive) wasn't a word!?

In the first 30s of this video you can hear the word "peoples" being used. My question is, is this a common/correct use? Video link: https://youtu.be/qXvaGrZINl4?si=MivVNNjYzIU_v8pI

Can we say “put someone on notice about something”? I only saw the structure of “put someone on notice that+clause”.
