A quick definition of counted vote:

A counted vote is when people express their opinion by voting in a way that is individually counted. This can be done by raising hands, standing up, or using a written ballot. The total number of votes cast in an election determines the winner. A legal vote is one that is cast in the proper form and manner for an eligible choice by someone entitled to vote. An illegal vote is one that does not count because it was cast by someone not entitled to vote or for an ineligible choice, or in a form or manner that does not comply with the applicable rules.

A more thorough explanation:

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.

  • In a show of hands, each voter raises their hand to indicate their vote. The votes are then counted by a designated person.
  • In a standing vote, each voter stands up to indicate their vote. The votes are then counted by a designated person.
  • In a roll-call vote, each voter's name is called and they verbally indicate their vote. The votes are then recorded individually.
  • In a written ballot, each voter writes down their vote on a piece of paper. The votes are then collected and counted by a designated person.

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.
