They push a motion forward (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ayes

(Other definitions for ayes that I've seen before include "Those voting for the motion" , "Nautical affirmatives" , "Affirmative votes as in committee" , "Nautical positive responses" , "They express assent" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
