It is surprising, but if you open `:h <localleader>' you will get desired
answer.

<localleader> is not a variable, it is expanded to the value of a variable.
You can't define a new <...> expression without patching vim.
If you want to have a custom prefix, use `execute': instead of
nnoremap <voleader>lhs rhs
use
execute 'nnoremap' g:voleader.'lhs' 'rhs'
(note that though I use different strings for different arguments, spaces in
lhs
and g:voleader won't be escaped: I do this only for readability).
