[B-Greek] DIDWMI KLHROUS vs BALLW KLHROUS

Is there any difference in meaning between the two DIDWMI KLHROUS and 
BALLW KLHROUS?  I ask because I heard an unexpected exegesis of Acts 
1:26 yesterday, that the Eleven voted on Judas' successor.  Not only 
does this make little sense in terms of Acts 1:24, but my understanding 
of DIDWMI KLHROUS is that it would not refer to a vote.  Given, 
however, some of the voting procedures in antiquity (and even today), I 
wanted to be absolutely sure.
