Definition: To order that votes in a meeting be counted.
Example: During a meeting, a vote is taken on a proposal. The chairperson announces that the assembly will be divided, and the votes will be counted. The members are then asked to stand up and be counted as either for or against the proposal.
This example illustrates how "divide the assembly" is used to order that votes be counted individually, rather than by a show of hands or voice vote.
