Definition of rising vote
Definition: A type of counted vote taken by each voter standing up when their side of the question is counted.
Example: During a meeting, the chairperson asks for a rising vote to determine whether the group supports a proposed resolution. Each member stands up to indicate their vote.
This example illustrates how a rising vote is used to count the number of members in a group who support a particular proposal or idea. It is a way to determine the majority opinion and make decisions based on the outcome of the vote.
