Voice Vote Defined

Voting on a bill by acclimation, or asking those in favor to say "yea" and those opposed to say "no." Usually, only non-controversial legislation without any "no" votes is passed this way (such as renaming post offices), but a voice vote will sometimes be taken before a roll call vote.

This definition is in context to Advocacy. See more contextual defintions for Voice Vote.

Using today?s technology, we?ll also create an alternative to the traditional petitioning method, not just for deciding what we vote on come election day, but communally shaping and deliberating proposals beforehand. It?ll combine the lessons learned from over a century of direct democracy in other states with our best understanding of what is needed for truly democratic and sound decision-makin g.
