Acclamation

Acclamation is a process used in decision-making or leadership selection where someone is approved or accepted through enthusiastic agreement or applause, rather than through a formal vote. It often happens quickly when there is clear support, allowing for a smooth and efficient approval. For example, a leader might be acclaimed if no one opposes their appointment, and the crowd shows approval by cheering or clapping. This method reflects general consensus or strong approval, streamlining decisions without the need for detailed ballots.
