Legal Definitions - standing division

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.
