Legal Definitions - lobby vote

A lobby vote is a type of counted vote taken by each voter passing through a lobby between tellers. It is also known as a teller vote. This type of vote is used in a deliberative assembly to ensure that each member's vote is counted accurately.

During a meeting of a local town council, a controversial proposal was put forward for a new housing development. The council members were divided on the issue, and a lobby vote was called to ensure that each member's vote was accurately counted. The members were asked to pass through a lobby between tellers, who recorded their vote.

This example illustrates how a lobby vote is used in a deliberative assembly to ensure that each member's vote is accurately counted. It is a way to prevent any errors or discrepancies in the voting process.
