What is a casting vote?

A casting vote is a vote that is used by the presiding officer of a meeting or assembly to break a tie when the other members are equally divided in their votes. The casting vote is typically used as a last resort to make a decision when all other attempts to reach a consensus have failed.

A casting vote is a special vote cast by a person or group, such as a chairperson or speaker, in the event of a tie vote. The casting vote is used to break the tie and determine the outcome of the vote. It is typically only used in situations where the decision cannot be made by a majority vote.
