Some votes are carried out in person if all the people eligible to vote are present. This could be by a show of hands or [[keypad polling]].

[[Deliberative assembly|Deliberative assemblies]]—bodies that use [[parliamentary procedure]] to arrive at [[Decision-making|decisions]]—use several methods when voting on [[motion (parliamentary procedure)|motions]] (formal proposals by a member or members of a deliberative assembly). The regular methods of voting in such bodies are a voice vote, a rising vote, and a show of hands. Additional forms of voting include a recorded vote and balloting. The assembly can decide on the voting method by adopting a motion on it.
