A quick definition of standing division:
Standing division is a type of vote where people stand up to show their preference or opinion in a meeting or election. It is also called a standing vote. This is different from other types of votes like a show of hands or a roll-call vote. A standing division is used when a clear count of voters is needed.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A counted vote taken by each voter standing up when his or her side of the question is counted.
Example: During a meeting, a vote is called on a proposal. Those in favor of the proposal stand up to be counted, and then those against the proposal stand up to be counted. This is a standing division.
This example illustrates how a standing division is used to count votes in a meeting or assembly. It is a way to ensure that each voter's preference is accurately recorded and counted.
