Approving votes is a process that is used in many different types of organizations, from governments to businesses. The term 'yeas' refers to those who vote in favor of a motion or proposal, while 'AYES' is another way of saying yes. 'NOES' refers to those who vote against the motion or proposal. All three terms are used to indicate the result of a vote and can be used to determine whether a motion or proposal has been approved or rejected.
