    Let \((\xi_t^{0})_{t\geq 0}\) correspond to the sets \(\xi_t\) of sites where the voters opinion is 1 at time \(t\) for a two-type voter model (with possible opinions 0 or 1) started from a single opinion 1 at the origin of a lattice \(\mathbb{Z}^d\). For \(c>0\) and \(x\in \mathbb{R}^d\) denote by \([x]_c\) the closest to \(x\) point in \(c^{-1}\mathbb{Z}^d\). The goal is to study the asymptotical behavior of \({\mathbf P}(\exists t\geq 0: c[x]_c \in \xi_t^0)\) as \(c\to \infty\). For any fixed \(x \in \mathbb{R}^d \setminus 0\) and explicitly indicated function \(\psi_d(c)\) the limit \(\psi_d(c){\mathbf P}(\exists t\geq 0: c[x]_c \in \xi_t^0)\) is found for \(d=2\) and \(d=3\). Interesting but less precise results are established for \(d\geq 4\). The author uses the scaling limit of the voter model started from a single 1 at the origin in terms of super-Brownian motion under its excursion measure. Here the papers by \textit{J. T. Cox}, \textit{R. Durrett} and \textit{S. A. Perkins} [Ann. Probab. 28, 185--234 (2000; Zbl 1044.60092)] and \textit{M. Bramson, J. T. Cox} and \textit{J.-F. Le Gall} [Ann. Probab. 29, 1001--1032 (2001; Zbl 1029.60078)] play an essential role.
