A floor vote is when all members of a legislature, such as a parliament or congress, cast their votes on a proposed bill or resolution. This usually takes place during a formal session and determines the outcome of the legislative measure being considered.
Floor votes can be taken by voice vote, where members verbally express their position; division, where members physically move to designated areas; roll call, where each member's vote is individually recorded; and electronic voting systems, where members can vote using electronic devices.
Gaining the right to vote is called enfranchisement.

The Electoral College does not directly choose the positions of presidential candidates on issues. Instead, candidates usually develop their positions based on their party's platform, personal beliefs, and feedback from constituents during the campaign. This process is similar whether the president is elected through the Electoral College or a popular vote.
In the U.S. Senate, 51 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor. A bill can also pass on a tie vote (50 - 50 or otherwise), as the Vice President will then cast a vote to break the tie. A bill cannot even reach the floor for a vote, however, if it is the subject of a filibuster unless there are 60 votes for cloture (which will allow a floor vote on the bill). In the U.S. House, 218 votes are needed to pass a bill on the floor.
The groups in Congress that study and debate bills before they to to a floor vote are called committees.
