Answer

appoint may give a person an official title.  The person has been chosen by any means - voting or chosen by a small group or chosen by one leader.

Designate - not used for a person as often it is for a thing or place. - This area is designated (set aside) for smoking.  This car is designated for work only.

Nominate- chosen by a person or group to be put forth as a candidate for an official appointment.
