In the Lord of the Flies, the vote about ghosts was a mockery of Ralph's power.
In Chapter one, The Sound Of The Shell, the boys hold a vote to decide whether to elect Ralph or Jack as their chief, Ralph wins the vote. In chapter five, Beast From Water, Ralph calls an assembly and holds a vote on the question, "Who thinks there may be ghosts?" The vote goes in favour of a belief in ghosts.
Civilization or savagery? Life or death? The decisions that are made during the first meeting are that Ralph is elected to be chief and he appoints Jack to be in charge of his former choir, which Jack decides should in future be hunters. The boys also decide on rules with regard to speaking at the meetings and perhaps most important of all, after Ralph raises the issue, they decide to build a signal fire on the mountain top in the hope of attracting passing ships or planes, with a view to being rescued.
Jack made that statement when his call for a vote of no confidence in Ralph's leadership was ignored by the rest of the boys.
