jury vote

Jurors' collective judgment

A jury vote is the formal decision rendered by a jury in a trial, expressing their collective judgment on the verdict.

The term may also refer to the voting process itself—how individual jurors cast their votes during deliberation: The jury vote was unanimous for acquittal.

In some contexts, jury vote describes any group decision-making process modeled on jury deliberation.
