Yes, It's a popular option on both mobiles and portables
I cant answer for Kenwood or Harris (M/A-Com) as I have little knowledge of
these manufacturers radios but somebody in the group will know and point you in
the right direction for sure

Is this a feature found on both mobiles and portables?
What about Kenwood and Harris (M/A-Com)?

Yep, most manufactures market a voting portable in one shape or another.
Motorola Waris series, Some Icom, HYT, Tait and Vertex Standard (I developed
the Voting software for the VX-820 series).
Hope this helps

Voting and talk around are two completely separate things,
Think of voting as scanning that selects the best (usually Strongest)
signal and forces the radio over to that channel, in this case the radio will
be looking at two frequencies (Repeater Output, AND base/mobile output) and
comparing them for best signal. obviously if two users are working closely in a
basement for instance, it ensures seamless switching of the users portables,
and eliminates untrained users selecting the wrong channel.
Talk around or Talk around scanning just stops on the first channel
with valid carrier (Or noise).
Done right, Voting is seamless and invisible to the user.
