 The presiding officer or chair of the assembly will put the question to the assembly, asking first for all those in favor of the motion to indicate so orally ("aye" or "yes"), and then ask second all those opposed to the motion to indicate so verbally ("nay" or "no").The chair will then make an estimate of the count on each side and state what they believe the result to be.Voice votes have inherent disadvantages and are typically only used in votes that are expected to result in a large difference; the method has major shortfalls in close contests.
