A counted vote is a type of vote where each voter is individually counted. Examples of counted votes include a show of hands, a standing vote, a roll-call vote, and a written ballot. This is in contrast to an uncounted vote, where the total number of votes is not individually tallied.
These examples illustrate how a counted vote is a way to ensure that each individual vote is recorded and counted accurately. This is important in elections and other decision-making processes where the outcome is determined by the total number of votes.
