show of hands

Read a random definition: of course

A quick definition of show of hands:

Show of hands is a way of voting where people raise their hands to show their choice. It is one of the ways people can vote in a meeting or election. Other ways include ballot voting and voice voting. A show of hands is counted by the number of hands raised for each choice. It is a simple and quick way to vote, but it may not be as private as other methods.

A more thorough explanation:

Show of hands is a way of voting where people raise their hands to express their preference or opinion in a meeting or election. It is a type of vote that is counted by visually observing the raised hands of the voters.

During a school assembly, the principal asked the students if they wanted to have a school dance. The students were asked to vote by a show of hands. Those who wanted to have a school dance raised their hands, and those who did not want to have a school dance kept their hands down. The principal counted the raised hands to determine the majority vote.

This example illustrates how a show of hands is used to determine the majority vote in a meeting or election.
