revotes
Votes a second
Revotes are additional votes taken after an initial vote, typically because the first result was inconclusive, contested, or invalidated: The committee called for revotes on three amendments.
The term applies to formal proceedings—legislative bodies, elections, board meetings—where procedural rules govern when a new vote is warranted.
