Definition of show of hands
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.

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.
The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
