Is it possible to call drupal hooks from inside of the civicrm code?

When I try to call the votingapi_add_vote it does not seem to recognize the function.

Thanks,

Okay, that's not a drupal hook. A drupal hook is a function that gets called by Drupal, and it would require your code to be in a drupal module that the drupal system has recognized (so it knows to call it!).

What you're calling there is a drupal module's api function - which at minimum requires that you have the module loaded, and maybe more depending on the module (i.e., read the documentation ...). There's a drupal_load function which is probably what you want to use to make sure the function is loaded.
