assenter
One who concurs
An assenter is someone who agrees or gives approval, particularly in formal contexts where consent must be recorded.
The word appears most often in legal, parliamentary, or ecclesiastical settings where official agreement is required: The petition listed twelve assenters.
Less formal than endorser but more official than someone who merely nods along.
