viva voce vote

The amendment of Mr. Coalter was rejected by a viva voce vote.

The motion of Mr. Barringer was agreed to by a viva voce vote.

It was held, and an uproarious viva-voce vote settled the fate of the surplus.

A viva voce vote was then taken and the resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice.

The House rejected the committee's adverse report by a viva voce vote and the next day passed the bill without further debate.
