division

Read a random definition: qualified personal residence trust (QPRT)

A quick definition of division:

Division is a way of counting votes in a meeting or election. It can be done by raising hands, standing up, or calling out "aye" or "nay". Sometimes, a long or complicated question is divided into smaller parts to be voted on separately. A tied vote can be broken by the chairperson's deciding vote. A legal vote is one that follows the rules and is cast by someone who is allowed to vote. An illegal vote is one that breaks the rules or is cast by someone who is not allowed to vote.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Division refers to a counted vote in a parliamentary setting. It can also refer to the separation of a long or complex motion into shorter motions that are considered independently.

Examples:

  • A show of hands is an example of a counted vote.
  • When a motion is too long or complex, it can be divided into smaller motions for easier consideration.

The examples illustrate how division is used in a parliamentary setting to ensure that each vote is counted accurately and that complex motions are properly considered.
