Used in the House of Commons and formerly used the Committee of the Whole House in the U. S. House of Representatives. Each side of a issue appoints two or three counters and then the members voting yes go one way and no the other to separate lobbies. The tellers count them as they walk by. (Add picture)

We see this in fewer instances. The U.S. House of Representatives used to use this all the time in the Committee of the Whole and the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. The reforms of 1995 abolished it, so the British House of Commons is one of the few major entities still using it.

It works by having two lobbies for yes and and no. Two sets of tellers are appointed and they count the members walking by them. At the end, the totals are tallied, yes or no.
