The Hall of the Tower settles Aes Sedai business by standing rather than by ballot.
The Hall of the Tower is the governing council of the Aes Sedai, its chairs filled by Sitters chosen from each Ajah. Business there is not settled by ballot. A Sitter rises to support a motion and keeps her seat to oppose it, and how many must rise depends on the weight of what is being asked, with the gravest questions requiring that nobody in the chamber stay seated at all. Custom hedges the process at every turn, and precedent hedges the custom. When a Sitter stands, and how long she waits before she does it, can matter as much to the room as which way she goes.
