vote of confidence to the four provincial assemblies

I have mostly encountered the expression ''vote of confidence from...'', it's the first time for me to see to replacing the from. Is this usage correct?

The Draft Committee sent the draft of the resolution asking the president to seek a vote of confidence to the four provincial assemblies.
