unanimous decision

Everyone votes yes

A unanimous decision is a judgment or ruling in which all participants agree.

In legal contexts, it typically refers to a jury verdict where every juror concurs: The jury returned a unanimous decision after just two hours.

In boxing, a unanimous decision means all judges scored the fight for the same fighter.
