Voice vote
A voice vote is a vote taken on a topic where the participants respond to a question with "yea" (yes), "nay" (no), or "present" (abstain). No names or numbers on who voted for what are recorded, and the record will often stand as "unanimously approved by Voice Vote." This tactic is used when the matter in question is either uncontroversial or paradoxically when the matter at hand is quite controversial and participants wish for "political cover."
