Acclamation

An acclamation is a form of election that does not use a ballot. It derives from the ancient Roman word acclamatio, a kind of ritual greeting and expression of approval towards imperial officials in certain social contexts.

For this method in papal elections, see Acclamation (papal elections). For the racehorse, see Acclamation (horse).
Not to be confused with Acclimation.
