WHO or WHOM?

Who is correct?
Yes, though it may depend on whom you ask!



Dearly beloved, let us take this day our dose of gramamatical edification...

I can't explain it, although I think I usually use them correctly. Well, at least some times.

Is it like
He=who She=who
him=whom her=whom

e.g. For who/whom should I vote?
Should I vote for HIM?
For whom should I vote?
