「あの時は多数決で●●にしただけ」
Hmm...
The first one looks like ’独'（どく） or '彼'（かれ）....
As for the second one I have almost no idea....the right half looks like a part of '語'（ご）、but the left half doesn't really look like 「言」(ごんべん）, does it?
If it's 「独語」、it means 'the German language.' But I'm still not sure.
Right, all we could do now would be guess from the context what word might fit in here.
