No votes (4)
I believe the answer is:
nays
'no votes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for nays that I've seen before include "Negative committee votes" , "Denials" , "Archaic negatives" , "Archaic noes, sound like horses" , "Those that oppose a motion in Parliament" .)
