ayes
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">positive votes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ayes that I've seen before include "Sounds of agreement" , "Voting assents" , "Those voting for the motion" , "They express assent" , "Nautical affirmatives" .)
