divide the assembly

Read a random definition: xylon

A quick definition of divide the assembly:

To divide the assembly means to count the votes in a meeting. This is done to make sure everyone's opinion is heard and to determine the outcome of a decision. There are different ways to vote, such as by raising hands or calling out "aye" or "nay." A legal vote is one that follows the rules and is cast by someone who is allowed to vote. A wasted vote is one that doesn't count towards any winning candidate. A unanimous vote is when everyone agrees, and a tie vote is when the votes are equal.

A more thorough explanation:

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.
