I believe the answer is:
ayes
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">yes votes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ayes that I've seen before include "Nautical affirmatives" , "Votes in favour" , "Affirmatives at sea" , "Positive votes" , "The yes votes at committee meeting" .)
