Im working on a map voting system I followed from a tutorial, the scrip looks like this

01--player--
02local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
03local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
04local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
05local ui = gui:WaitForChild("ui")
06 
07--Assets--
08local rep = game.ReplicatedStorage
09local assets = rep.Assets
10 
11--Maps--
12local maps = assets.Maps
13 
14--Signals--
15local signals = assets.Signals
16local event = signals.Event
17local fevent = signals.FEvent
18 
19--Game Variables--
20local Game = workspace.Game
21local stats = Game.Stats
22 
23--Static Variables--
24local vars = {
25    currentVote=nil;
26    services={};
27}
28 
29--Primary Events--
30event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(variables)
31    if variables.reason == "startVoting" then
32        table.insert(vars.services, game("GetService","RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
33            local ray = Ray.new(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(0,-1000,0))
34            local object = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, char, false, false)
35            if object and object.Name:match("VotingPad") then
36                local votingPadNum = tonumber(object.Name:match("%d+"))
37                if vars.currentVote== nil then
38                    vars.currentVote = votingPadNum
39                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingPadNum;})
40                elseif vars.currentVote~=votingPadNum then
41                    vars.currentVote = votingPadNum
42                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingPadNum;})
43                end
44            elseif vars.currentVote~=nil then
45                vars.currentVote=nil
46                event:FireServer({reason="removeFromVote"})
47            end
48        end))
49        elseif variables.reason == "endVoting" then
50            for a,b in pairs(vars.services) do
51                b:disconnect()

Hello. The problem is that you used GetService() wrong. Instead of game("GetService, "RunService"), you have to use game:GetService("RunService"). Please try doing more research before asking. Try this:

01--player--
02local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
03local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
04local gui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
05local ui = gui:WaitForChild("ui")
06 
07--Assets--
08local rep = game.ReplicatedStorage
09local assets = rep.Assets
10 
11--Maps--
12local maps = assets.Maps
13 
14--Signals--
15local signals = assets.Signals
16local event = signals.Event
17local fevent = signals.FEvent
18 
19--Game Variables--
20local Game = workspace.Game
21local stats = Game.Stats
22 
23--Static Variables--
24local vars = {
25    currentVote = nil;
26    services={};
27}
28 
29--Primary Events--
30event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(variables)
31    if variables.reason == "startVoting" then
32        table.insert(vars.services, game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
33            local ray = Ray.new(char.PrimaryPart.CFrame.p, Vector3.new(0,-1000,0))
34            local object = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray, char, false, false)
35            if object and object.Name:match("VotingPad") then
36                local votingPadNum = tonumber(object.Name:match("%d+"))
37                if vars.currentVote== nil then
38                    vars.currentVote = votingPadNum
39                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingPadNum;})
40                elseif vars.currentVote~=votingPadNum then
41                    vars.currentVote = votingPadNum
42                    event:FireServer({reason="voteOnMap"; itemNum=votingPadNum;})
43                end
44            elseif vars.currentVote~=nil then
45                vars.currentVote=nil
46                event:FireServer({reason="removeFromVote"})
47            end
48        end))
49        elseif variables.reason == "endVoting" then
50            for a,b in pairs(vars.services) do
