Very close, yes; I'd translate it as "repeating the election" ("Wahl" = election, while for me, "vote" is the single vote a person casts rather than the whole arrangement), and it's the normal word for "redial".

Similarly, "wählen" can be either "to vote (in an election/for a person)" or "to dial (a number on a telephone)", both meanings deriving from the basic meaning, "to choose". ("Wahl" can also be "choice", e.g. "Du hast keine Wahl" = "You have no choice".)
