Im using this dcumentation as a reference:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/voting-config-exclusions.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/voting-config-exclusions.html)

`POST https://MY_DOMAIN/_cluster/voting_config_exclusions?node_ids=firstId,secondId`

Response:

```
{
	"error": "Incorrect HTTP method for uri [/_cluster/voting_config_exclusions?node_ids=CWH-pph2Tp2PuHwr6Cf7EA,PoWXZIZvQnegbEd5WNb2ew] and method [POST], allowed: [DELETE]",
	"status": 405
}

```

So is method POST allowed or not cause there's a little discrepancy between docs and that

Are you sure you're looking at the docs for the right version? Earlier versions don't support this API in quite the same way, see e.g. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/voting-config-exclusions.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.7/voting-config-exclusions.html).
