In the following sentence, why is "Lasst" used instead of "Lassen"? For example, we say "wir lassen" so I thought that similarly we should use "Lassen uns" instead of "Lasst uns"?
Lasst uns über diesen Punkt abstimmen.

The form used in polite salutation would be: Lassen Sie uns über diesen Punkt abstimmen. Is that, what you are asking?– guidot ♦Jul 7 at 10:47

This is imperative. One indication is that the verb is in the first position, not in the second.
Also, it is addressed to second person (du/ihr), not first person (ich/wir). An equivalent indicative sentence would be
Ihr lasst uns über diesen Punkt abstimmen.
