Unanimity is where everyone involved votes for a candidate or proposal. All are of one mind.

There may be a situation where all votes cast are for a proposal, but not everyone votes. Thus there are no votes against the proposal. This is usually indicated by nem con, for nemo contra, "no-one against".
